Stranger

A 2 track reggae single (7m 14s) — released October 6th 2014 on Roots Garden Records

Singer Daphne BlueBird delivers an emotive and heartfelt rendition of this deep & rootsy 'Lovers Rock' obscurity. Originally recorded by the Love Joys at the infamous 'Bullwackies Studio' in Brooklyn NY, and featured on their 1983 LP "Lovers Rock Reggae".

Producer Nick Manasseh reworks the rhythm track in fine style. His contemporary and sophisticated production sound compliment the tracks organic feel and live instrumentation. Cascading delays, sweeping phaser sounds and saturated reverb hits paying homage to the tracks origins, and trademark 'Wackies' sound. Manasseh turns up the the FX to eleven on the heavyweight dubwise version!
