TRUMYSTIC SOUND : Modern Dub, Reggae, Roots, Rock, Soul
Paradise, the new album from TRUMYSTIC, is inviting, accessible, and undefinable all at the same time. From the powerful ‘Legendary Love’ - originally written as a song for a collaboration with the late, great Mikey Dread, and now a touching memorial to one of reggae's greatest legends - to the playful ‘Fool for Your Love,’ a duet featuring Dave Gutter of Paranoid Social Club and the Rustic Overtones, to the in your face ‘Bombs’, a song about injustice, Paradise, like life itself, runs the gamut of human emotion. Combine this visceral approach to song writing with the production skills of the Trumystic team and add Grammy award winner Malcolm Burn, and you really do find yourself in Paradise.
TRUMYSTIC is the musical equivalent of an elite special forces unit, with each member wielding their weapons of talent to create one of the most exhilarating live shows you’ve ever seen. What Trumystic brings to the stage is an uplifting, genre-bending new sound to the reggae world - incorporating dub essentials, dancehall, hip-hop, soul and skank-infused riddim rock.
On how they developed their unique, genre-defying sound:
"We're paying tribute to a style that we really like, and we've taken those influences without any boundaries and just let them color the music the way that they do. In doing so we've come up with a unique sound. We've always been interested in creating what we call, quite simply, Trumystic music."
In 2002 Trumystic released the sonically lush album, Current Master, on TMG Records. Since the 2004 release of their epic double album, Dub Power they have been busy touring and recording the newest release, Paradise. Yes, it took some time, but isn't Paradise worth waiting for?
In addition, Kirsty Rock, the lead singer for TRUMYSTIC - as the only vocalist to appear on all three of the critically acclaimed reggae re-envisionings from East Star Records: Dub Side of the Moon, Radiodread, and the Lonely Hearts Dub Band - has been busy with live appearances ranging from Glastonbury Music Festival, to Moscow, to a live performance on Italian TV. These live shows have drawn international praise and recognition, while her performances on the records have been lauded by some of the original artists of those classic albums.
"I will suggest that you forget any preconceived notions you may about reggae and dub music. Trumystic manages to transcend simple genre classification with their vibrant, lyrically potent tunes."
