Constant drip and drop


Although they are well-known amongst the progressive reggae scene, Toronto-based Bedouin Soundclash remains relatively unrecognized outside the genre, despite their genre-bending tendencies and accessible alternative sound. Since their independently-released debut album Root Fire while they were still in college together in 2001, they have produced a steady flow of part-reggae, part-ska, part-completely unique sound and have slowly gained renown throughout their native Canada and parts of the U.S. While frontman Jay Malinowski's vocals and lyrics may have seemed fragile and tentative on their early albums, with the release of Light the Horizon this past year, they dispel any hint of insecurity and truly define their own style in a way they have never before. Alongside the beautiful duet with fellow Canadian Coeur de Pirate on "Brutal Hearts," the album maintains their signature sound but polishes the details to create an even smoother listening experience. Give it a try:
