California-based outfit BURNT craft a soulful blend of reggae, ska, punk and hip-hop sounds with psych brushstrokes, and inspired by DIY artist subculture, they have independently produced 10 albums since forming in 2003.

Lifted from recent album Reaching for the Sun, latest single ‘Shadows’ features Frank Lasalona on vocals and provides a superb introduction to their wears in four minutes flat. It swaggers along a deep and seductive groove while the collective energy and hypnotic power of reggae vibes bathed in flourishes of bleary eyed psych and Latin flavours, making for a companion for Lasalona’s richly smooth vocals to flow. A wonderful amalgam of hip-hop and reggae with a soulful core that will leave it’s mark you and powerless to resist its magical charms.
