Label GB

the highly-anticipated fifth studio album from the black seeds, new zealand's reggae-soul heavyweights. 'dust and dirt' introduces new sounds and styles not heard on the previous releases whilst still retaining the trademark black seeds sound the band has become so known for. 'cracks in our crown,' 'loose cartilage,' and 'the bend' all take the experiments with funk begun on solid ground in even further directions. 'don't turn around' finds the band doing a fresh take on a disco-boogie jam full of old school funk and plenty of bouncy playfulness. the opener 'out of light' sounds different from anything the band has tried before, tipping into an almost psychedelic pop sound, while roots gems like 'love me now' and the title track remind listeners that the black seeds are still one of the finest classic reggae bands in the business. all of these new styles are brought into the mix in a natural way, without forcing sounds, letting the songs be mini-experiments that organically evolved. in all, 'dust and dirt's 13-tracks are testament to a band at the top of their game, reveling in their newfound creative freedom.
