Short and Sweet NYC, CD Review >>
Mixing genres of dub, funk, soul, vintage reggae and afrobeat, New Zealand-based outfit, The Black Seeds are bringing their island vibes to the masses - more specifically, North America. With a recently-launched European tour to promote their North-American release of Solid Ground (Easy Star), the eight-member band has a festival-like, summertime vibe to them. Matter of fact, over the last 10-plus years, the group has consistently sold out shows and festivals throughout their native New Zealand, Australia and Europe. So it made sense that while listening to the funky rhythms and electric guitars, I had a feeling of wanting to chill on a blanket in the park with a cold beverage of my choice and just vibe-out. Some of my favorite tracks: “Rotten Apple,” “Take Your Chance,” “Make a Move” and “Come to Me.”
Though Solid Ground is The Black Seeds first North American release, check out their previous New Zealand releases - Into the Dojo (2006), On The Sun (2003), Pushed, a remix album (2003), and Keep On Pushing LP (2001).
