Stick FigureBurial Ground

Warm, bass-heavy California reggae that rolls on a deep one-drop pulse, dub echoes drifting in and out like smoke. "Sad Songs" sways on a fat, rubbery bassline and Scott Woodruff's easy croon, while the layered grooves run thicker and richer than past Stick Figure records. Sweet-tempered but never flimsy, with real instrumental depth under the mellow surface. Pour something cold, find a hammock, and let it carry the afternoon.
