Resurrectors are a 9 piece dub reggae band from Sydney comprising an
eclectic mix of local talent as well as musicians originally from Barbados,
South Africa, England and New Zealand.
Healing is the bands debut album and has already won them some talented
fans: The album features a bonus remix of the title track by Fat Freddys
Drop producer and main man DJ Fitchie.
The band features some of Sydneys finest musicians. Cameron Deyell plays in
Bertie Blackmans band and makes hip hop with Ends & Means. Jon Pease tours nationally in
Paul Macs band. Declan Kelly has released a solo album which was successful
in its own right. Peter Firth is also a permanent member of Kingtide.
Resurrectors are an amazing live and will be touring extensively on the back
of the album. Already they have supported top acts including Fat Freddys
Drop and the Black Seeds in their recent sojourns across the Tasman.
The album combines great songwriting and soulful performance with a social
conscience and in doing so delivers a very powerful and compelling musical
message. This is great music made by people living in Australia and singing
about Australian subjects.
Resurrectors tap into a rich and soulful tradition whilst presenting their
sound in a current and contemporary style. This is evident in both the
musical and lyrical content as well as the way the album itself was
recorded. The album was recorded live to 2-inch analogue tape then mixed
digitally and mastered back through an analogue board.
Healing not only captures the spirit and joy that is at the heart of reggae,
it expresses some personal experience and perspective on Australian life,
while giving thanks to the originators of the idiom, especially those who
underwent much suffering and tribulation, and whose life stories are
inseparable from the music they inspired.
STOP PRESS: Healing has been selected for iTunes Single of the Week in the
Apple iTunes Music Store for the week of the albums release!
