London UK-based Dub/Reggae trio Creation Rebel recently released their new track THIS THINKING FEELING, featuring the late Prince Far I & Daddy Freddy, ahead of their forthcoming album HOSTILE ENVIRONMENT
Creation Rebel shares ‘This Thinking Feeling’, from the forthcoming album ‘Hostile Environment’, out October 06th on On-U Sound. ‘This Thinking Feeling’ showcases the vocals of band member Charlie ‘Eskimo’ Fox, as well as two guest vocal performances from the iconic voice of the band’s former mentor and band-leader Prince Far I, and the unmistakable fast chat of UK emcee Daddy Freddy.
‘Hostile Environment‘ is the first album in over forty years from the legendary Creation Rebel, who were the original On-U Sound house band and responsible for classics such as ‘Dub from Creation’ and ‘Starship Africa’. The trio of Crucial Tony, Eskimo Fox, and Magoo are back with producer Adrian Sherwood to create a modern spin on their heavyweight dubwise rhythms.
Hostile Environment refers to former British Prime Minister Theresa May’s controversial policy towards asylum seekers, and the recent Windrush scandal, all too relevant to a group of musicians of Jamaican origin who have spent their whole lives operating in the darkening shadow of a former colonial power with a staggeringly short memory for historic wrongs.
It is the seventh album credited to the group, who originally coalesced as a live backing group for the late, great Prince Far I, in the process sharing stages with the likes of The Clash, The Slits, and Don Cherry. Vocals from their former band leader, preserved on archive tapes, feature on the new record, as well as guest contributions from the likes of Cyrus Richards (musical director for Horace Andy and the Dub Asante Band) and Italian synth maestro Gaudi.
