2016 release. Thirty years in the making, Instant is the first true studio album by the nomadic and critically acclaimed Stick Against Stone. An authentic melodic mashup of horn-rich noir funk, ghostly dub ballads, pulsing samba flecked with Afrobeat juice and snarling post-punk rock energy delivered with heartfelt passion and verve - Instant is a welcome time-capsule revelation that sounds startlingly fresh and on point today. Building on the critical success of the 2014 release of their long-lost Oregon Bootleg Tapes - Live album that was selected as a Top 25 weekly pick by New York Magazine (described as "wildly danceable") - and live NYC performances by the expanded Stick Against Stone Orchestra in 2013 - the band is gearing up for 2016.
