New Zealand musician, Andrew Spraggon has drawn together a host of familiar names and new faces, and produced an album that’s more beat-driven, but as always, tinged with his trademark soul and funk. Excellent!.
Low and Behold, High and Beyond is their sixth full length album, and that high output and longevity shows through on every track, from the jaunty opener Promise, right through to the album closer, the sultry and smoky Loveless, one of the album highlights.
The standout tracks are the ones featuring L.A. Mitchell, her voice working well within each song and elevating the music, proving her versatility once again. That said, a couple of the tracks with Spikey Tee also work exceptionally well, his MCing adding a bit of bounce to Rise (The Machine) and a rough texture to I’m Not That Guy.
Percussionist extraordinaire Julien Dyen (OpenSouls, Ladi6) appears on almost every track providing live drums, yet despite his considerable skills on the drum kit, he knows to temper things back here, never showing off as he contributes to the musical melting pot in each song. Low and Behold, High and Beyond has shown that Sola Rosa can continue to make albums that stand out from the crowd, and has set a new standard for them." - muzic.net.nz
