Holy Colony, Burning Acres
By Troy Kingi & The Upper Class
The third instalment of Troy Kingi’s aspirational 10|10|10 Series (ten albums in ten genres in ten years), Holy Colony Burning Acres delves into the dark corners of worldly Indigenous politics, namely colonisation and its (c)rippling effects on today’s social climate.
A stark contrast to the space psychedelia of sophomore offering (Shake Your Skinny Ass All The Way To Zygertron), Holy Colony Burning Acres is a motivated commentary on indigeneity wrapped in an electrifyingly 70s-styled deep roots/reggae offering reminiscent of such bands as The Abyssinians, The Upsetters and The Congos.
“Shines a light on many of the issues that face indigenous cultures at home and abroad...Troy is acting as conduit to tell these heartbreaking stories with integrity and passion.”
