The Acoustical Sounds of Big Sugar
Sunday, February 22, 2015
“Big Sugar’s 2014 release of Yard Style delivers us 13 tracks of languidly-paced, percussion-heavy acoustic reggae. A fragrant spiritual groundation. This heavy, heavy musical statement, runs the gamut from classics like “Turn The Lights On” to brand new cuts “Calling All the Youth” and “Police Bway the Vampire”. Featuring Reggae legend Willi Williams and an extended family of brethren, this is the heartbeat sound of Big Sugar. It was only natural to gather this alternate version of Big Sugar in a studio, invite all of their friends, sit in a circle with wooden instruments, a deep selection of songs—old ones, new ones, some you’ve probably never heard before—and then press record. It’s a direct transmission from the band’s private realm straight to your ears. Willi Williams, the Jamaica born and bred Armagideon Man’s influence is felt all over Yard Style. He is a semi-permanent fixture in the Big Sugar line-up—where he joins bassist Garry Lowe, drummer Stephane “Bodean” Beaudin, one-man horn section Kelly “Mr Chill” Hoppe and toastmaster DJ Friendlyness.” www.bigsugar.com
