The Frightnrs: Make Up Your Mind (Zoetropic) Vinyl 7"
The Frightnrs are some of the finest musicians of the contemporary Rocksteady revival. Rocksteady is seen as the missing link between Ska and Reggae - offbeat rhythms at slower tempos, leaving room for broken, syncopated basslines and clever guitar flourishes. The Queens-based group released the Inna Lovers Quarrel EP on Mad Decent/Jeffrees in August 2015, which included standout track “Make Up Your Mind”. Built on a cleanly strummed bass line, the late Dan Klein’s vocals are the highlight here - drifting easily between a tenor and reverberating falsetto. The instrumentation is accurate and sincere - not a hint of irony here. Both tracks are produced by Victor "Ticklah" Axelrod, founder of Sharon Jones’ Dap Kings. Backed with an exclusive dub version on the b-side, a blissful and spacey take on the original with endless mixing board affectations. This limited edition release is pressed on a 7” picture disc that features a zoetrope effect on both sides, and includes detailed instructions for viewing the effect with your phone camera.
