New JBB album out March 3rd “RE-AMPLIFY”
EASY STAR RECORDS TO RELEASE RE-AMPLIFY BY JOHN BROWN’S BODY
The ep features 6 remixes from AMPLIFY and a live track that was recorded during our fall tour with Giant Panda Guerilla Dub Squad at the Aggie Theatre in Fort Collins, CO.
RE-AMPLIFY will debut exclusively on iTunes March 3rd and then a full release on March 17th. You can pre-order the record, see the album artwork, and pick up a new JBB shirt inspired by one of our most popular tour posters here: PRE ORDER RE-AMPLIFY
We have a diverse group of producers and artists on the record from all over the world. The story of this ep is every bit as interesting and inspiring as the music itself. We will start putting together some of our experience working with these wonderful people and let you know more about how this project took off in the coming weeks. We will be posting many of the songs soon.
The producers involved on RE-AMPLIFY include:
Disashi Lumumba-Kasongo: guitarist from the Gold Record Certified Gym Class Heroes.
Tommie Sunshine: American rave legend and remixer of songs by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs, The Killers, Panic! At The Disco, Good Charlotte and others.
GoldieLocks: up-and-coming artist/producer from the UK, recently nominated for DJ Mag Best British Breakthrough Producer and featured in a photo spread in Maxim.
Dubmatix: one of Canada’s best known reggae producers, recently nominated for a Juno.
Blue King Brown: Australian reggae/afro-beat masters, of whom Carlos Santana said, “…my favorite band right now”.
Wrongtom: London DJ who has remixed Hard-Fi, Lily Allen and Roots Manuva.
“RE-AMPLIFY takes the Future Roots sound we achieved on AMPLIFY even further into directions we might never have gone on our own,” says drummer Tommy Benedetti. “It’s been exciting hearing our songs in other producers’ hands. We enjoyed Dubmatix’s version of ‘The Gold’ so much, we are going to start playing it that way live. Then we bring it full circle to the early JBB sound by ending the record with a new roots track we’ve been having fun playing on the road.”
