Sometime in the early 90’s Mike from Pitch Black worked on a live show by Christchurch reggae band Ras Bonte. Their last song of the night was a cover of Exodus, and Mike had one of those ephemeral moments where the live desk dub mix and the band locked in sync, and the sound just took off.
For years Mike and Paddy have talked about trying to re-create that moment, and have now risen to the challenge. Featuring Sandy Mill on vocals and David Fullwood from Ital Horns on brass, Pitch Black are delighted to present a 21st century version of a classic tune.
In the backs of their minds during the process were the climate migrations we are seeing across the planet and how they echo the original Exodus, and they wanted their new version to reflect this global issue.
