Better Days / Station Underground News
âBetter Daysâ is a strikingly beautiful anthem built around the Carltonsâ breathtaking harmonies and a patient, rolling, minimalist Reggae rhythm made of syncopated drums and a gentle horn section in background, hence serving the strong vocal delivery even further. Without forgetting the equally beautiful lyrics delivering a powerful message of resilience, optimism and faith. Beautiful harmonies, minimalist rhythm and uplifting lyrics all together make âBetter Daysâ one of the Shoes most enduring performances and a Reggae masterpiece that invites to both reflection and musical delight.
â
âStation Underground Newsâ was in fact the A track on the original 1973 single with Lee Perry credited as âKing Kobaâ. It is a subterranean journey through Perryâs imagination. Built from a skeletal rhythm track, the piece unfolds as a series of
musical interventions: echoing vocals, fractured percussion, Funky manipulations and more. This little know tracks capture perfectly Perryâs trademark blend of Jamaican musical textures, off kilter rhythms, experimentations and unbridled whimsy and creativity.
