Langendorf United 'Undercover Beast' (Sing a Song Fighter) - a review

August 27, 2025

The brilliant Swedish quintet Langendorf United return with their second album, ‘Undercover Beast’ and it is equal to their award-winning debut ‘Yeahno Yowouw Land’. Respected by Ethio-jazz legends like Mulatu Astatke and modal fans alike, Lina Langendorf’s deep dive and education in the Addis Ababa club scene and decades of playing with an outrageous list of international artists, have lent her a singular voice, her ferocious saxophone playing drawing fire and ice or singing heavenly lullabies. Based around her complex yet immediate melodies, her synergistic band can take the ingredients of funky Ethio-jazz, Cabo Verdean morna, Cape Town grooves or just plain old cosmic trippery and twist them into a brand new, world class sound. This is very, very good. Read / Listen.
