NEW SINGLE NOW - STILL BELIEVE
Nyabinghi drums, rock guitar and paying homage to love in all forms.
This our dubbiest track yet. Its a big fat bassline, with mellow pianos, synths and rock guitars, as the bed to tell our story.
In the tradition of the Black Uhuru , King Tubby, Mad Professor we are in the heart of the dub nation.
Lyrically I am pondering the world we are in and looking at the chaos the uncertainty off it all, gender rights, the shame of america where once martin Luther dreamed and now it feels like that dream is lost to tyrants racists and sexist emboldened and loud.
But its only love I think that will set us free.
I see the hope in the youths, I see the hope in me singing our truth into existence.
All over the deep Nyabinghi drums, the village of drums calling us home and keeping us safe in the love we believe in.
