"Worldwize; being conscious of the world you live in today."
Australia's noisiest, most combative and politically active band have just released their first album in almost 4 years, and it's a departure. A powerhouse recording of deep dub and roots, recorded across the world with guest spots from some of the worlds most legendary reggae artists.
Blue King Brown are one of the hardest working bands we've ever had the pleasure to work with. I've had the pleasure of working along side the brainstrust of Natalie P'a'apa and Carlo Santone in a tiny office above a dilapidated pub on Brunswick St. Fitzroy. They took to all their projects with passion and fervour. They're vehemently independent and they have a vision that no one, absolutely no one will get in the way of... ever.
"Late 07 early 08 we locked ourselves away in a rehearsal room and
crafted songs that would become part of the body of work we are
releasing today. April 08 we dive into the most full on recording
session we have ever done, over a couple of weeks we poured our souls
to tape, were joined by some of the finest musicians, string players,
horn players, percussionists, beat masters, programmers, engineers,
assistants, studio owners, friends & family, we laid down a large
amount of sound!"
"We then embarked on a plan that would shift change and evolve, and
we just hung on the best we could. We find ourselves in Jamaica
surrounded by some amazing people, legends of our time in fact. In this
moment we threw away our release plans and focused on creating a record
that would be released when its ready. From there we travelled to many
corners of the world and honed a sound that reflects who we are. where
we come from, and where we want to go."
