New Kingston – A Kingston Story: Come From Far

Description

Release Date:08/25/2017;Notes:Vinyl LP pressing. The fourth studio album by New Kingston (and second with Easy Star Records) is a conceptual effort that tracks the personal histories, journeys, and current lives of the New Kingston family, transforming these stories into a seamless musical piece. While the concept is strong, it doesn’t overshadow the excellence of the individual songs, including early singles “Come From Far,” and “Honorable & The Beast,” as well as “Starlight,” a collaboration with Pressure Busspipe, and the anthemic, romantic “Agape,” among others. Produced by the band with their longtime musical mentor and Grammy winner Fabian Cooke, A Kingston Story: Come From Far is a new listening experience for the American progressive reggae scene, one that will help New Kingston move forward as an innovator among their peers.
