Today marks the release of Fishbone’s ninth studio album Stockholm Syndrome. The album is the band’s first to feature their new lineup of Angelo Moore, Christopher Dowd, James Jones, Hassan Hurd, John “JS” Williams II, and Tracey “Spacey T” Singleton. The album was produced by the band along with Aryon Davis and Chris McGrew and was mixed by Cameron Webb.
The band sounds refreshed and reinvigorated as they kick out 12 red-hot tracks that will have you dancing, moshing, and thinking. Their lyrics are some of their sharpest and most reflective to date as they tackle the rise of fascism and racism in America, dive into the predatory nature of the record industry, discuss interpersonal conflict and emotional turmoil, and remind us that love is the most important thing of all.
We caught up with Angelo Moore and Christopher Dowd to hear their thoughts and the stories behind each of the tracks. Fishbone are currently touring the US and you can listen to our recent interview with Angelo and Christopher right here. Listen to Stockholm Syndrome and read the track-by-track breakdown below!
