Poke A Brain might not be a familiar name, but their latest track, “Reggae One,” quickly demands attention. While the song nods to reggae, it’s far from a purist take on the genre. Instead, it dips into a blend of sounds that keep you guessing—there’s the familiar presence of guitar, drums, bass, and horns, but the execution is anything but typical.
The real intrigue lies in the unexpected shifts the track takes. About halfway through, a chaotic breakdown kicks in, veering into almost psychotic territory, momentarily flipping the song on its head. It’s a jarring but effective move that adds depth to the experience. Lyrically, “Reggae One” feels like a cautionary tale, reflecting on societal unease with a sharp edge.
Poke A Brain’s approach here suggests they’re not interested in playing by the rules, and I’m curious to hear where they go next. “Reggae One” offers a glimpse of their potential to push boundaries.
