Arise Roots

Arise Roots are proud to announce their highly-anticipated third full length studio album, Pathways, is now available worldwide via Ineffable Records. The massive, 15-song-release, features a strong selection of heavyweight artists such as Eric Rachmany of Rebelution , Kyle McDonald of Slightly Stoopid, Lutan Fyah, Nattali Rize, and Turbulence, along with band members Karim Israel, Todd Johnson, Chris Brennan, Robert Sotelo, Rodolfo Covarrubias and Blake Colie. Recorded at 17th Street Recording Studio, in Costa Mesa, California with the help of Lewis Richards, Gary Larason, and Rick Haze, production credits for the album also include Winston Peters and Jamey “Zeb” Dekofsky on drums, Micah Smoley on percussion, Eitan Avineri on trumpet, Wes Perry on saxophone, Joshua Molé on trombone, and Blake Colie on samples. Pathways blends classic easy-vibing and dancehall sounds from the 70’s with deep, meaningful, soul-uplifting conscious music. Specializing in heavily Jamaican-influenced roots, the Southern California ‘lions in the jungle’ continue to deliver fresh reggae sounds with a modern feel while spreading love, respect, and positivity. Fade Away asks us to look past our politics, to remember love conquers hate, a message more relevant than ever in these divided times, while Selecta shows respect to the roots of reggae, shouting out love for legendary artists Peter Tosh, Bounty Killer, Beenie Man, Shabba Ranks, Sizzla, Buju Banton, Ninjaman and more.
