Jaya The Cat- The New International Sound Of Hedonism - Vinyl - Orange Splatter

Back in stock: the fourth official studio album by the internationally acclaimed reggae-ska-punk crossover band, available on vinyl LP from Bomber Music. Since the late 1990s, the musicians, who hail from Boston and moved to Amsterdam in 2003, have been guaranteeing a tasteful and rousing combination of ska and reggae rhythms with punk and rock elements. Touring internationally for decades, the band has gained a loyal worldwide fan base. Here, the quartet led by founder, singer, and guitarist Geoff Lagadec presents its most mature work to date. Legions of bands have attempted to combine offbeats and rock, but few have found such an original musical language as Jaya The Cat, who, under Lagadec's warm, soul-soaked voice, clash offbeats with driving guitars and cleverly arranged, relaxed, groovy song material that is both powerful and casually shuffling. In addition to classic reggae styles, elements of dub and dancehall are quoted, and Caribbean flair creeps in with calypso set pieces. Tempo, catchy hooklines, pop appeal, and mature songwriting shine here. The secret hit “Put A Boombox On My Grave” is vocally enhanced by Jonny “Itch” Fox (The King Blues), with Dutch jazzers The New Cool Collective providing the horns. A musical cornucopia with compelling summer appeal—danceable, catchy, casual, and extravagant!
