Dial Into Progressive Reggae with Spiritual Rez
Spiritual Rez, a Boston-based reggae-punk band, recently released Setting in the West on their own record label featuring a talented cast of musicians working behind the scenes.
Setting in the West is a 10-track LP that was produced by AWOLNATION’s Kenny Carkeet, and co-produced by Eve 6’s Max Collins. It features guest appearances by Duddy B of Dirty Heads, Hirie, Billy Kottage from the ska/punk group Reel Big Fish, as well as Goldfinger’s John Feldmann helping co-write ‘Red Room.’
The album features music veterans with decades of experience in punk music. The majority of the songs on this album have a strong pop music overtones. It takes their core style of reggae, and mixes it up with different influences.
The track ‘Sober’ is one of my favorite songs on the album. ‘Red Room’ featuring Duddy B of the Dirty Heads, and is another track that showcases the depth of Spiritual Rez by utilizing the power of collaboration.
