One Step Two

7" : £ 6.12

Honking trumpets? Breasty ragga vocals and slick double-bass twangin'? A Prince Buster tune, cussing and some snooker balls?Well my good man, this can only be the next release from Blunt Force Trauma! This double dose of ska-lounge-cum-ragga-get-down is a most handsome successor to BFT’s first release. Lord Cry Cry aka Berlinbased Chris Donaghue pours every inch of his classically-trained ear for detail into this lovingly produced re-working of "One Step Beyond", twinned with the rude Raw F*ck. Sweet-talking your backslide into a strange grooving action, this pair of beauties has slapped a large and toothsome grin in the face of every listener, including the likes of DJ Food, Rob Luis (Tru Thoughts) and Jon Kennedy. Artwork here is obsessively overseen by BFT with a cover shot by New York's Anthony Saint James and a tattoo by British illustrator Inkymole, on a sleeve which opens into an 11"x16" poster. Add blue dinked vinyl with a red 45rpm adapter by sister company Factoryroad, a download card with 7 tracks and, well, you DO have a fulsome package
