Za Cloud

This disc sounds as you might expect the product of 15+ people sitting around and jamming to sound. These are longer, reggae jams, with relaxed lyrics. Each song is distinct, though, and they switch of the pace and general feeling of the songs; some are more upbeat and generally happy, others slow with trippy lyrics eliciting the feeling of a drug-induced haze. Horns are used frequently, definitely giving off a ska-ish feeling at times. Recommend: 1; FCC warning: 2 and 3.

1. Starts out with jamming, electric guitar, overlaying a slow, reggae beat; bongos; interludes of horns; male vocals, singing relaxed, trippy lyrics: "I put my head into the water, almost for too long"

2. More upbeat; with reggae drumming; Guitar is quicker as well and less "jamming"; Male vocals with slower, spoken parts, along with some harmony; FCC warning: multiple "fuck"s and "fucking"

3. Slow reggae beat; Relaxed lyrics about how life's getting him down; horn interludes; FCC warning: the chorus is "fuck the stress"

4. **Starts with repetitive male/female harmony over pleasant, slow, and simple reggae guitar and drums; Male vocals on the chorus with communal sounding harmony (Arcade Fire style); horn interludes

5. Quicker beat, sounding more ska than reggae; Full of vocal harmony; horn interludes
