Tribal Seeds has toured the world over, seeking the spiritual aromatics of earth smoke andforming bonds with fans and musicians. In their 15 years as a reggae rock band, originally fromSan Diego, Tribal Seeds has released four full length albums and two EPs. It’s helped themamass over 224M song streams and 250,000 followers on Spotify. They matched that outputand strong fan connection with a robust touring life that brought the group to Europe, SouthAmerica, New Zealand, Mexico, Guam and Aruba. With the global pandemic ending all toursworldwide, the band was sidelined for 2020, which has led to a special live album experience toadapt to the times.

Tribal Seeds’ Live: The 2020 Sessions will be remembered in reflections of the disruption that aglobal pandemic caused to large, joyous gatherings, and the resilience of musicians to maintaina connection to sequestered fans. Recorded and self-produced over three days in a privatevenue with cameras rolling, The 2020 Sessions was released as a live Youtube experience onNovember 19, 2020 with the album version following the next day across all streamingplatforms. The 2020 Sessions is bold new territory for Tribal Seeds. From the outset “Down BadVibes” leads the record, an unreleased song that will be on their forthcoming studio album.“Down Bad Vibes” is a heavy, traditional reggae dub with live horns and signature space echo. Itfeels like a ceremonious cleansing of the space that curates the room for new songs: “Lift,”“Tempest,” “Sekkle & Cool,” and “Fallen Kings.” The song “Fallen Kings” finds the groupimplementing live string arrangements into their sound, all of which suggests they’ve utilized thedowntime to explore and push themselves creatively in the studio for the next record.

It’s an exciting progression for a group that rose to the top quick and has remained on the roadfor over a decade.
