It’s as lively an album as you’re likely to hear. On gatefold and appropriately piss-yellow transparent vinyl, Under Burning Skies is a treat, gleefully giving the dancefloor what it wants whilst inserting righteous irritation at the state of the world. The skanking “Oublier Pour Un Jour”, for instance, with its Gallic accordion, shows off a tangential search for raw funk. Canada’s Souljazz Orchestra have a raw Afro-Caribbean underpinning to their sound, but there’s also something post-punk about them, amped by snappy synthesized sounds that provide a framework for bounding brass, bass and drums. Opener “Dog Eat Dog” sets the tone, mustering a hard-hitting soul-funk, and containing lines such as “You can’t piss on my leg and tell me it’s raining”.
