Listen to Future Oceans Echo
ffm.to/futureoceansecho
Feel good reggae at it’s finest. Bubblin' down to the bone. Fit for any festival or before show warm up. Triumphant and playful horns sit just atop a knocking bass and drum groove. Seahorse bubblin’ employs the skilled and creative overdubs from long time Zion I Kings compatriot Ras Kiva on the horns, synths and sound effects
Future Oceans Echo is 10 tracks of infectious and melodic instrumental dubs that organically, and rapidly flowed into an album over the last part of the year. Reflecting on the new project Moon explains, “I have had the concept for this album in my meditation for quite a while. As I had been writing and working on all this new music, it just started to support that vision. Just kinda flowed that way naturally. The album has a real consistent energy from start to finish. All the same core musicians were involved. All instrumental dubs.” Zion I Kings worked with stellar group musicians to round out the sound and vibe including Roberto Sanchez on drums, Pau Dangla Valls who played additional keys, Okiel McIntyre and Zoe Brown played and arranged horns.
Looking back at the new record in a recent interview and in response to a question do artists feel a responsibility toward the plight of the Oceans, Andrew Moon Bain replied, “I don’t know if artists have a responsibility but we all have to live here. We are all connected to one source of life, one planet and atmosphere…all of us depend on it. Whether we feel a part of it or not. It is all connected. A lot of people can’t understand what they can’t see. Can’t feel for what they can not touch. Whether it is my responsibility or not, I do feel a duty to uncover some overstanding of the unknown through art, music and the glorification of Jah.”
