Well, Swamp has cranked out another and the band is stoked and are celebrating their latest monster, "S'ac Passé?", which officially released on July 22 on Sidewards Records. Brian (guitar) says that this album represents a sort of a musical reverse migration:

"It starts with the current sounds of rock and hip-hop, travels to the Gulf states with funk and early American blues, from there moves to the Caribbean with Haïtian Kreyol and the rhythms of reggae and ska and finally ends up back in Africa via Nadïne's African vocal styles and the use of instrumentation such as the *hindehoo, udu and kalimba."
Nadïne (lead vocals) feels that this album is like a Haïtian griot (storyteller) who takes on all the characteristics of the tale to help animate its message.

It's all that and more and the band really proud of it.

Swampadelica has lovingly crafted a new album which started it's journey with Pete Carini in Burlington, VT at Trey Anastasio's The Barn recording studio, drove to the Red Rocks of Pennsylvania (recording studio), then to George Clinton's old digs (Swamp founder Damian Calcagne's new home) where P-Funk's heyday was hailed, flew to St. Barth's for a solid month of performing the tunes live to an international audience and finally landed in the hills of Northern New Jersey at Brian Herkert & Nadïne LaFond's art & music home studio, The Hideout (as in the Honeycomb Hideout). The band is stoked to finally release the new album, S'ac Passé?! CDs are available now!.

Sonically experimental, with traditional songwriting at its core, Swampadelica is artfully establishing its own voice in today’s open ended music scene by fusing Americana, Haitian, Funk, Country Blues, Hip Hop and Soul. Swamp continues to move in broadening directions. Lead vocalist Nadïne LaFond’s native Haïtian Creole seamlessly wends its way in and out the lyrics, grooves and melodies. While this is present on Swamp’s latest CD, Sidewards, it is most evident in recent live performances, where the band is more unified than ever before and as a result, reaching new levels of musicality and performance. Swampadelica’s sound has evolved into a valid blend of modern and vintage, earth and urban.

* Thanks to master percussionist, Ahmondylla Best, who taught Nadïne how to play the hindehoo, a reed instrument from the Babenzele Nation of Central Africa, which adds to Swamp's unique sound.
