It’s been seven years since Antillectual’s last album and it’s a pleasure to hear new music from the trio from the Netherlands. The band has always managed to blend messages of hope with its music in a way that comes across with a huge sense of positivity, rather than taking the path of purely bemoaning the state of the world. There’s definite fire in Antillectual’s belly but one that brings about a rallying call, personified in the title of the album, which is a belief we all have to work together to bring about change. With melodies and harmonies aplenty, socially conscious lyrics, and a clear-sounding production, there’s nothing more I could have asked for from Together. –Rich Cocksedge (Thousand Islands, [email protected], thousandislandsrecords.com / White Russian, [email protected], whiterussiansrecords.nl / Black Star Foundation, blackstarfoundation.com)
