The Black Seeds - Fabric


This is a really enjoyable experience in undertaking listening to this band, who prove there is some seriously impressive reggae coming out of Aotearoa/New Zealand, and with the lasting influence of Herbs who they themselves are an immensely talented group, capable of some terrific moments, both musically and lyrically, so there has been a breeding ground of talent from the Islands. I really rate ''Better Days'' and ''Everybody Knows''. But, the real standout is the incredibly funky and rhythmic track ''The Weaver'', which has amazing lyrics. They really stand out from the more organic sounding Katchafire, The Black Seeds themselves incorporate more electronics and have a really cool ragga style of music, laden with affects on the vocals and instruments, and plenty of keyboards, oh those synths.
