Our Take

SLACKERS' latest album, "Baba Roots," is a delightful romp through musical eclecticism that showcases the band's trademark blend of ska, reggae, and punk influences. From the infectious riffs on "Dub Mystic" to the gritty vocals on "Jamaican Dub," SLACKERS effortlessly weaves a sonic tapestry that is as vibrant as it is infectious.

The album kicks off with the upbeat ska anthem "Roots Rockin'," setting the tone for what's to come. The band's signature horn section shines on tracks like "Horns of Dub," adding depth and richness to the overall sound. Meanwhile, songs like "Rebel Riddim" and "Rasta Revolution" offer a more politically charged message, demonstrating the band's versatility and depth as songwriters.

At times, "Baba Roots" veers into more experimental territory, as seen on the psychedelic-infused "Dub Dreamer" and the ambient "Mystic Melodies." While these tracks may not be for everyone, they add a layer of intrigue and depth to the album as a whole.

Overall, SLACKERS have once again delivered a strong and cohesive album that is sure to please both longtime fans and newcomers alike. "Baba Roots" is a testament to the band's continued evolution and innovation, solidifying their status as one of the most exciting acts in the ska and reggae scene today. Grab a Red Stripe, sit back, and enjoy the ride.
