Formed in 1998, GROUNDATION is among the world’s reggae legends. Their first two albums (YOUNG TREE and EACH ONE TEACH ONE) established a unique roots sound, distinctive to GROUNDATION. In 2002, the album HEBRON GATE was recorded, achieving immediate success and propelling the group to international fame, a masterpiece of their progressive and unique roots reggae. In 2018, after the departure of some of its founding members, the legendary Californian band reformed around its leader HARRISON STAFFORD. He surrounded himself with the best musicians who, like him, graduated from the prestigious Sonoma State University. The resulting sound remains deeply faithful to the jazz-tinged reggae that has made GROUNDATION’s reputation since its inception. This new generation of virtuosos brings all its talent, creativity, and energy to the concerts. After more than two decades and ten studio albums, GROUNDATION, which has helped define American roots reggae, is back with CANDLE BURNING, his 11th studio album. This new work perpetuates the group’s legend with the same commitment to sophisticated music and impeccable sound quality, recorded 100% analog. HARRISON STAFFORD, at the helm of the formation, has the power to create intense tracks with complex yet captivating arrangements, combined with engaged, poetic, and deeply human lyrics. In its approach to respecting music and defending analog, the group chose to record its new album at the internationally renowned ICP Studio in Brussels. The venue, with its cutting-edge equipment, has welcomed the biggest names in music since its opening (Pharrell Williams, The Cure, Lady Gaga, Alicia Keys, Cat Stevens, Simple Minds, Lana Del Rey...). The mixing is handled by the legendary JIM FOX (Lion and Fox Studios). A finely crafted collection that results in an album of exceptional quality and vision.
