THE BLACK SEEDS 'BACK TO YOU'

With their sixth studio album Fabric out next Friday, The Black Seeds (Craig Pearce) have shared a bright and colourful new music video bound to get you feeling good.

Their latest single 'Back To You' is a tribute to old relationships revived and staying true, set over bubbly rhythmic stabs. Made with the support of NZ On Air, the video was created by Connor Pritchard (Director / DOP), Jasper Jay (DOP) and features animation by Ethan Zonneveld. It all unfolds with paint, confetti & yarn coming together in a vibrant visual as co-frontman Daniel Weetman sits down to tell the story.

The Black Seeds will embark on their full NZ tour next month! Make sure to come and experience the new album and the hits with one of New Zealand's most-loved bands when they're in your town! Get tour dates & full ticketing details here.

THE BLACK SEEDS 'FREAKIN'

On the cusp of their nationwide New Zealand tour which kicks off this September, The Black Seeds (Craig Pearce) have dropped the boogie in their devastatingly great new video for their new, feel-good single, Freakin'.

Expect keytars, explosions, futuristic eyewear (and dangerous dance moves) brought together by a rotating cast of dance extraordinaires - this is about the good times! Let’s party!

“It's the party, pick-me-up track on the album," says The Black Seeds co-frontman, Barnaby Weir of the new track created at Lee Prebble's The Surgery. "It's for the end of the week, end of the line, letting loose, shaking it off. It's a good dose of feel-good funk."

Featuring dance and choreography from Hero Dance Company, Pump Dance Studios and The Company NZ, the video was directed by Mark Russell (The Renegade Peach Project), produced by Owen Watts (The Maker's Initiative) and created with the support of NZ On Air. Watch Freakin'  here, or below.

This September 8th, The Black Seeds will release their sixth studio album Fabric, followed by a nationwide album tour that spans 10 national dates with newly added shows in Nelson (Sept 30th - Club Paradox) and Hawkes Bay (Oct 10th - The Cabana). See here for full details and ticketing information.

Layering funk, soul, afro-beat, and other eclectic elements over their dub and reggae foundations, The Black Seeds infuse raw energy and good vibes wherever they go making the band a regular fixture at the world’s leading music festivals and venues.

Since 1998, vocals led by Barnaby Weir and Daniel Weetman have been the driving force behind expressing The Black Seeds message. Conscious lyrics convey personal triumphs and failures, relationships good and bad, and are underpinned by a constant optimism.

An epic catalog of albums lead by their 2001 debut Keep On Pushing, backed up by On The Sun, Into the Dojo,Solid Ground and most recently Dust And Dirt The Black Seeds are at the forefront of reggae today and tomorrow.

Backing them up on support duties the the Kora brothers, Laughton and Brad. Know as LAB these boys have been stunning festival slots throughout the country and will defiantly make you not want to be late.
