Kingfisha – Offered It Up

With the release of their second album, Brisbane band Kingfisha have constructed something that has a solid foundation in their reggae roots but draws upon contemporary influences for that added level of flair.

Obviously, having built their name on a reggae sound, the group wasn’t going to get away from this and as such this is the foundation layer upon which all 10 tracks on the record are built. It is however the craftsmanship that is then played onto this that has each song paving it’s own unique sound with influences from electronic bass music, jazz, pop and even rock all seeping in throughout.

Due to this ability to blend such a diverse array of sounds into the record it’s hard to truly say what the defining factor is here, but you simply cannot deny the overall quality of this record. (JA)
