专辑简介
Mixing reggae influences with political calls to action, State Radio offer up
another slice of northeastern jam-funk with the band's third album, Let It Go.
Released in 2007, Year of the Crow was a time-specific record, its songs
targeting everything from President Bush's torture allegations to war-torn
Sudan, but Let It Go is broader in scope, emphasizing general themes of
toleration and peace without pointing many fingers at singular groups. As usual,
the Cambridge natives embrace an amalgamation of genres -- most prominently
reggae, ska, and punk -- and lace the mixture with touches of roots rock and
Jamaican inflections. State Radio don't concern themselves with breaking new
musical ground, and even though the album sounds best at its absolute loudest
("Held Up by the Wires," "Still & Silent"), an emphasis remains on mellow jam
band material. As with most State Radio affairs, then, Let It Go creates the
biggest stir with its lyrics, whose sociopolitical content challenges listeners
to think as much as dance.
