Bacao Rhythm &amp; Steel Band, the mysterious steel pan band from Hamburg, has achieved cult status worldwide. With a series of classic 7" singles and three highly acclaimed albums, they have set the bar high for themselves, which they want to push even higher with this new work. They cover songs from various genres, from mega hits to underground songs, and make them their own with their unique take on the traditional steel pans of Trinidad and Tobago. 

While part of the appeal of a new Bacao Rhythm &amp; Steel Band album is finding out what songs they cover, it's just as fascinating to see what original tunes they've cooked up - because this album is just as full of standout originals. The album's opener, "In The Crosshairs" is a rough and tough mid-tempo nod, while "Grilled" and "Treasure Quest" pick up the pace with strong African funk influences. Bacao goes deeper with “Hazy Memories,” a bass-heavy slow burner that walks between hypnosis and hype. These originals are proof that the term "cover band" is a shoe that could never fit Bacao. And yet this time too there are a number of cover versions in the tradition of steel pan music. The big West Coast Hip Hop influence is evident with covers of Game &amp; 50 Cent's "How We Do", Dr. Dre &amp; Snoop Dogg's "Nuthin But A G Thang" and Tupac's "Got My Mind Made Up," all given a new energy and suitable for the BRSB steel treatment. 

With their covers of Claudja Barry's disco classic "Love For The Sake Of Love ", which they convert into a dubbed version and even change the title to "Love For The Sake Of Dub", Bacao add another certified dance floor filler to their resume. From the realm of contemporary smash hits, they cover Drake's " Hotline Bling" and "Love$ick" by Mura Masa &amp; A$AP Rocky. Then they go a very unexpected route with the "Stranger Things Theme," taking the hit show's synth-heavy theme song and giving it a more hypnotic tone than the original. When BRSB is finished, the Bacao Rhythm &amp; Steel Band has taken the listener on a journey that encompasses a variety of energies, tempos and moods but keeps everything under one roof.
