ossory

Port Moresby, a city with no road out — you fly in, sail in, or stay where you are — across one panorama of stilt villages, fish markets, tarpaulin stalls, minibus stands and savannah hills, in a song that counts the city's miles, its three official languages, its concrete canoe, and the captain who named the whole place twice, both times after his father.

L109 The Local Anthems Reggae Rock Fusion / Island Rock

No Road Out

0:00 / 0:00

Style

Fast Pacific-island fusion of roots reggae, string-band and classic rock at a driving 150 BPM one-drop groove; deep booming kick, log-drum toms, dub bass, brass stabs and hand percussion under overdriven rhythm guitar; male and female Papua New Guinean leads trading blocks and uniting on gang-vocal choruses.
