The Damn Straights – The World’s On Fire (Let It Burn) (The
Bastion Music Group) 
Release Date: Out Now
Now then, this is a debut release
from the Damn Straights which is a collaborative project made up of Exeter
based producer Adam Gibbons (aka Lack of Afro) and excellently named rapper
Herbal T. If you’re not already intrigued then I’ll add some special sauce in the
shape of the song’s title ‘The World’s On Fire (Let It Burn)’. That hooked you
in? Thought it might. The track itself is a dirty, dark, lurching slice of rock
infused funk with Herbal T’s steady flow unfurling atop the fuzzed up bassline
and clicking beat. When the chorus drops there is a sense of ominousness and
inevitability as the dynamic duo list all the ways that modern life has
suckered in to thinking everything is shiny and new just get hold of our data
and thoughts. The line “I’ll take the bliss with the ignorance” hits hard but
then so does that rhythm section so…….damnit, they’ve duped me too.
