Dark Matter

 “Dark Matter is our step into the big league. A vibrant slab of melodic songs, with some new studio experiments, draped in Caned & Able’s trademark hallucinogenic sheen. It also heralds the explosive arrival of rapper-toaster-singer Big G,” explains producer Patrick Bird. “Big G effortlessly coaxes and cajoles the new material into the realms of self dialogue and crowd-igniting angst.”

The new-look Caned & Able boasts a wide range of talent, with sounds spanning rock and reggae beats. Bass, guitars, strings, synths and beaty percussion combine for Big G to show off his upfront and personal lyrical style. Highlights include Big G’s impassioned plea for tolerance on future single ‘Love And Hate’; ‘Raver’ harking back to early 70s slide guitar-iced rock soul; and the epic end to the album, ‘The Last Chapter’, which starts delicately before dropping to a pulsating ambience, and building back into a complex mini-symphony.

Released 30 May 2011. Produced by Patrick Bird & Raj Vivekananthan.
