T-Killas - Empowerment
Description
The T-Killas from Aschaffenburg are back with a new album. They are celebrating the anniversary of their twenty-year band existence with their new album "Empowerment"! Musically, they remain true to themselves and continue to create their own sound from subculturally linked styles such as ska, reggae, punk and power pop and never lose sight of the socially critical themes of the time in the lyrics.
The album, which comprises ten songs, was recorded in the legendary Goldengrey Studio Frankfurt. This studio was perfect for recording the five-member band first in a live setup and supplementing it with a second guitar as well as vocal and percussion overdubs. This type of production allowed for a natural grooving sound to emerge. Support on the trombone was provided by musician friend Assaf, whom they met on their joint tour of Israel with the band "Skarate Kid" in 2019.
These recordings were mixed and, depending on the song, partly dubbed by none other than ska and reggae producer legend Victor Rice from São Paulo. So we can look forward to further releases! To give the sound the final touch, the mix was mastered by Dimi Conidas from Frankfurt, who also goes the analogue route. It was not mastered for volume, but according to the dynamic mix of Victor Rice. Thus, the recordings captivate with a warm, pushing sound.
The panther on the cover was designed by the artist Xilotrópico from Chile. The album layout is by Claas König, the operator of Ring Of Fire Records.
The album will be released on 29.09.2023 as a chic 500 vinyl edition with a 350g cover with inside-out print, as well as a printed insert on 300g recycled cardboard.
Tracklist:
A-Seite:
1. Aggrovation
2. Mean machine
3. Sunny times
4. Holding on
5. Hot smoke
6. Reggae me out
B-Seite:
1. Dub me along
2. All my ways
3. Say their names
4. I don't get no
