DE STRANGERS TAP DEEP RHYTHMS AND DEEPER TRUTHS ON TIMELESS BOND
Italian reggae collective De Strangers meet Galas & Buriman on Timeless Bond, a soul-stirring album released via La Tempesta Dub. Far from a typical second release, this textured record dives headfirst into the emotional and sonic depths of reggae and dub, pulling no punches in its lyrical weight or sonic range.
Crafted in collaboration with powerhouse vocalist Galas and international dub maestro Buriman, Timeless Bond is a bold, layered soundscape. Tracks like Sweet Memories and Lift Up Your Head slow the pace for introspection, while What’s Wrong brings a heavier, digitised edge, complete with synth basslines and a militant stepper groove.
WITH GALAS’ SOCIALLY-CHARGED LYRICS, THIS ALBUM CUTS THROUGH THE NOISE
The true power of this album lies in the harmony that fuels it. Vocalist-drummer Elia Pozzi and keyboardist Emiliano Vegro built each track with a mission: “not just a tribute to reggae,” but an immersive experience. And that’s precisely what they’ve delivered.
With Galas’ socially-charged lyrics and a sharp critique of power structures, the album cuts through the noise with clarity and purpose.
The standout Tea Bubbling, featuring Jules I of Mellow Mood, delivers a call-and-response roots anthem that brims with energy and intention. Buriman’s dub mastery ties it all together, pairing each vocal track with a dub counterpart that expands the journey.
Timeless Bond carves out its own space in the reggae landscape. It is thoughtful and built to resonate across time and borders.
