Various Artists - Ska Shots (2024)

Some of the finest names in classic reggae and ska featuring on this new album Ska Shots on Pressure Sounds. The long player packs in 14 jams that take you to somewhere sunny and laid back with super good vibes aplenty. Roland Alphonso's 'Live Desire' kicks off with some hypotonic brass sounds bringing exotic vibes while The Skatalites keep it deep. Elsewhere Johnny Moore's 'Yogi Man' is a jumble of brilliantly live drums and buoyant brass and his 'Red Is Danger' is a more coy and sensual sound.
