[coll]: Surf Roots (Resin Music) Reviewed by Sadie O., 12/24/06 Surf Reggae, mostly from So-Cal. Huge variety of styles – some are really nice (if sometimes a bit on the pop side), some make me wonder if surfer’s brains aren’t a bit waterlogged. I suspect that there are people who enjoy sweet pop and “college radio” stuff that will like the stuff I found nigh-unlistenable, so judge for yourself. No FCCs detected. Track 15 is best, 1 and 2 are very good. 1. 3:43 ***a bit downtempo, laid back bubble with a bit of swing, Ziggy’s distinctive vocals. 2. 4:12 ***big electric guitars, then very uptempo skank. Nice combo,. 3. 3:03 *folky, breathy vocals and skank unplugged acoustic vibe. Sounds like a banjo – that’s one nice touch. 4. 3:42 **birdsong (?) intro. Cute, happy hip hoppish uptempo skank. Not a bad sound, actually – very nice bass and good beat. 5. 3:39 *uptempo pop-rock skank – can’t really pin down what I’d call this. Lots of electric guitar. 6. 3:36 solo piano, downbeat pop vibe. Folky vocals, strings… 7. 3:37 bangs and sirens, then uptempo hard rock guitar, pop vocals. rather oddly mutates into uptempo skank of sorts. 8. 5:01 acoustic guitar strumming and picking, solo pretty vocals love song… Downtempo bubble actually shows up, but it’s all too pretty… 9. 3:36 *long intro, sort of a midtempo calypso groove with crowd noises and various vocals. a bit on the pop side, but a nice beat. 10. 2:43 **uptempo high energy guitars, uptempo skank with pop vocals – I think they’re tongue in cheek. Nice moments. 11. 4:36 **uptempo dubby bubble/skank. Decent vocals and lyrics, solid music. 12. 3:30 *Motown-ish horn intro, uptempo bubble with modern R&B backing vocals, pop reggae and dancehall lead vocals. 13. 2:37 **midtempo skank, bit of Spanglish vocals. 14. 4:32 long folk-pop intro, downtempo skank with sweet pop love song vocals. 15. 5:46 ****midtempo bubble with uptempo overlaid syncopation, dubby and understated – really nice. | ||
