about

Super Hi-Fi's fifth album and second of (almost) entirely original material is a blast of dueling trombones, gut-rattling bass lines and West African- inspired rhythms. In this sense the band maintains their signature dub-heavy sound but manages to explore new sonic territory by embracing elements of rock and improvisational jazz. Another aspect of Blue and White that separates the album from previous Super Hi-Fi releases is the presence of band leader and bassist Ezra Gale’s distinct voice. Where previous Super Hi-Fi releases- starting with 2012's Du was strictly instrumental, this latest effort features Gale singing on half the tracks. The vocal element marks a clear evolution in the band’s musical aesthetic and demonstrates both creative growth and fearless experimentation.

In classic analog fashion the entire album was recorded directly to tape, giving the songs a sticky, rich warmth and a bottom-end that feels heavy and natural. The twelve track album which will be released by Brooklyn-based Very Special Recordings consists of all original material with the exception of a dubbed-out cover of The Police’s “Hole In My Life”. Lending his creative hand to the album artwork is acclaimed artist Rob Swainston who will be screen printing a run of 500, one-of-a-kind covers to compliment the forthcoming vinyl release. No two album covers will be the same which Gales says “echoes the aesthetic of dub music, where you have all these variations – versions of the same song – spun out from the same source material”
