专辑介绍

Rootz Underground continues their roots-rock-reggae sound on their sophomore release, Gravity. The CD doesn’t stray far from their Movement roots, but they’re a little more… experimental, a little more… trippy, a little more… jamband. Is jamband an adjective? I don’t know.

So first let’s start on why Rootz Underground is the best band to come out of Jamaica in a long while. First, their instrumentation is super original and exciting. For example, “Enlighten Me” has a rave-esque quality like when Madonna was in what I call her “Om Shanti” phase. Then you have warm horns of 70s reggae – think Burning Spear “Slavery Days” or Dennis Brown “The Promised Land” – on “Unknown Soldier.” The third full track, “Jah Love Is the Solution,” features a jazzy muted trumpet intro that brings us back to 1950s-Birdland-Miles-Davis-All-Blues feel. There’s a bit of house, dub, R&B, spoken word, groovy jazz sax, and most of the CD is overlaid with a jamband guitar-riffy Grateful-Dead-Phish-like sound.
