The Dirty Heads Invite You To Their Cabin

Southern Cal's The Dirty Heads are just the hombres you want by your side for an unabashed chill out session. "Cabin By The Sea" is lousy with such overtures. The title track shows off their laid back reggae groove. Dustin "Duddy B' Bushnell lays down guitar licks suitable for popping col' beers with the posse. You can smell the surf without being anywhere near water. "Best Of Us" receives the benefit of breezy pacing to initiate the magic of this story about a girl who drinks with the best of the boys and can shake her body as good as them too. What an inhibition loosener. Props to percussionist Jon Olazabal for keeping the reggae aura fully stoked. This genre of music would be lacking its octane without quality timekeeping. Bob Marley would be very proud of son Kymani for the earnest expression of manly desires that make up the root of "Your Love". Not to mention his virtuousity adds street appeal. With "Hipster" it's the jazzy horn opening that sends the song skyward through the Caribbean sensibilties. All in all The Dirty Heads have carved a neat niche for themselves. You won't have much problem embracing their enlightened rastafarian soup which contains copious doses of ska and hip hop as well. "Cabin By The Sea" is just what summer 2012 needed. Time to let your hair down.
