311 is on their UNITY Tour once again this summer but this time they are supporting their stellar new release MOSAIC. Sure to satisfy the hard core fans as well as gain some new ones, this CD has plenty of identifiable 311 traits with a lot of new sounds and some surprise twists. For one, SA Martinez and Nick Hexum switch roles, with Martinez singing lead and Hexum rapping in places.
This is the second CD mixed by Drummer Chad Sexton and some very intricate textures ride low in the mix with the traditional energy of 311 surfing to an from their Reggae laden beach of relaxation or mayhem. The band once again has mastered the art of anticipation and payoff with their amazing hooks, riffs and melodies.
Arguably their best record, 27 years of playing together mixed with a symbiotic love affair with their fan base, MOSAIC pays tribute to an accomplished career. It also acts as a launching pad for a second wave of an amazing career. Experience, persistence and a deep well of creativity make 311 seem like they are just starting on an epic musical journey - truly exciting for their fans and future members of the HIVE.
