Trinity Roots: Home Land & Sea | |

|
|||||||||

|
Second and final album from multi-award winners who formed in 1998,disbanded 2005.Trinity Roots established themselves as a leading act in the New Zealand music scene. The band produced a contemporary sound with roots in the guitar/vocal melody and harmony of reggae, a rock-steady groove and the improvisation of jazz-schooled talented. However, it’s not just dub, it’s not just reggae, it’s not just jazz – you get the picture. It’s fresh and unique.The contrast between their genre-busting recorded work and hypnotic live show is testament to their creative sensitivities and ability to entertain. With singer Warren Maxwell at the helm, he is suitably backed up by Rio Hemopo (baritone) laying down five strings and Riki Gooch (falsetto) on drumkit and assorted items.Both of their long play albums have achieved gold status in New Zealand . This is a major achievement for a band without a commercial single and an inspiration for all independent artists in New Zealand .“We use roots as a vehicle or medium to convey emotion. We combine lyrical message with primal rhythms. We are organic in our music and spiritual in the way we play it.”Warren Maxwell.They have celebrated shows alongside Ben Harper, Lee Scratch Perry, The Mad Professor, Rockers Hi-Fi (all on NZ tour appearances), Fat Freddy’s Drop, King Kapisi, Che Fu and Salmonella Dub. Tracks: Aotearoa Longs I For You The Dream All We Be Egos Angelsong Touches Me Way I Feel Home, Land & Sea Touches Me (Live) Way I Feel (Live) |
