Sofa Surfers - Container


On the Klein Records site, it says that Sofa Surfers are a "multimedia collective that specializes in experimental beats mixed with heavy dub and freaky jazz references." These guys can be grouped into the musical spectrum of the new European dub movement, which has Kruder & Dorfmeister's smooth jazz-sophisticate sound on one end and Pole's ultra-minimal machine dub at the other extreme. Landing somewhere in between on this, their second full-length release, they explore atmospheric soundscapes on tracks like "Container" and "Guns & Bombs & Knives", dark jazz-funk on "I Asked For Water" and "If It Were Not For You" while toying with a more traditional dub style on "The Low Rider" and "Long Bone". Mainly instrumental, but nice reggae-style vocals on "Beans & Rice" and "If It Were Not For You". Comparisons to Smith & Mighty or Massive Attack would not be unwarranted, although these guys are definitely more experimental. Oh, and there's LOTS of bass...
