  Groundation

  Formed in 1998, GROUNDATION is among the world’s reggae legends.

  Their first two albums (YOUNG TREE and EACH ONE TEACH ONE) established a unique roots sound, distinctive to GROUNDATION. In 2002, the album HEBRON GATE was recorded, achieving immediate success and propelling the group to international fame, a masterpiece of their progressive and unique roots reggae.

  In 2018, after the departure of some of its founding members, the legendary Californian band reformed around its leader HARRISON STAFFORD. He surrounded himself with the best musicians who, like him, graduated from the prestigious Sonoma State University. The resulting sound remains deeply faithful to the jazz-tinged reggae that has made GROUNDATION’s reputation since its inception. This new generation of virtuosos brings all its talent, creativity, and energy to the concerts.

  After more than two decades and ten studio albums, GROUNDATION, which has helped define American roots reggae, is back with CANDLE BURNING, his 11th studio album. This new work perpetuates the group’s legend with the same commitment to sophisticated music and impeccable sound quality, recorded 100% analog.

  HARRISON STAFFORD, at the helm of the formation, has the power to create intense tracks with complex yet captivating arrangements, combined with engaged, poetic, and deeply human lyrics.

  In its approach to respecting music and defending analog, the group chose to record its new album at the internationally renowned ICP Studio in Brussels. The venue, with its cutting-edge equipment, has welcomed the biggest names in music since its opening (Pharrell Williams, The Cure, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Cat Stevens, Simple Minds, Lana Del Rey...). The mixing is handled by the legendary JIM FOX (Lion and Fox Studios). A finely crafted collection that results in an album of exceptional quality and vision.

  THYLACINE

  Il faut parfois se déraciner pour s’accorder avec soi-même et avec le monde alentour.

  C’est en tout cas selon ce précepte qui lui a jusqu’ici si bien réussi que Thylacine a décidé de poursuivre sa quête créative. L’artiste qu’on a suivi à bord du Transsibérien, sur les routes de la Cordillère des Andes et des Îles Féroé, ou en Turquie pour y apprendre à jouer du bağlama, a décidé pour son nouvel album Roads vol. 3 de s’éloigner à nouveau des automatismes créatifs de son studio parisien. Lui, qui confesse avoir du mal à composer deux morceaux dans un seul et même endroit, a cette fois décidé d’arpenter pendant trois mois un nouveau continent.

  Toujours embarqué dans sa désormais fameuse caravane flamboyante, une Airstream de 1972 équipée pour enregistrer, travailler et interpréter ses voyages pas comme les autres, William Rezé-Thylacine s’est donné le temps dont il avait besoin. Ce temps qui manque quand on est ensablé dans la routine et le rythme des tournées, ce temps qu’il faut pour que les voyages soient d’authentiques expériences et que l’intuition se transforme en une matière toujours plus audacieuse et originale.

  Cet album s’annonce à l’image d’un étonnant périple. Un véritable vertige créatif, résultat de profondes interrogations sur son art et sa pratique face aux équilibres du monde qui l’entoure.

  Une nouvelle odyssée musicale qui fait de Thylacine un artiste fondamentalement unique en son genre.

  Sometimes, you have to uproot yourself to truly align with who you are, and with the world around you.

  It’s this guiding principle, one that has served him so well so far, that Thylacine has chosen to follow once again in his creative journey. The artist we’ve traveled with aboard the Trans-Siberian Railway, along the roads of the Andes and the Faroe Islands, and through Turkey where he learned to play the bağlama, has once again stepped away from the familiar patterns of his Paris studio to create Roads Vol. 3.

  True to his now-iconic mode of travel, a blazing 1972 Airstream caravan converted into a mobile studio, William Rezé, aka Thylacine, gave himself the most precious resource of all: time. Time that’s so often missing when caught in the grind of touring and routine. Time that allows travel to become a real experience, where intuition can evolve into something bolder, deeper, more original.

  This album emerges as a mirror to that astonishing journey, a true creative vertigo born of deep reflection on his craft and how it relates to the shifting balance of the world around him.

  A new musical odyssey that further defines Thylacine as a profoundly singular artist in today’s landscape.
