STICK FIGURE Burial Ground / 2x LP NEW VINYL / Ruffwood 2019

2019 reissue, originally released in 2012 -"Just in time for the summer, the highly anticipated album was written, recorded, and produced by the one-man-band and musical mastermind Scott Woodruff. The album represents a new milestone in Stick Figures musical growth and innovative abilities, with more layering, instrumental transcendence, and lyrical complexity than ever before. Featuring 14 new signature tracks, two of which feature vocal appearances by the legendary reggae singer Half Pint and long-time friend TJ O’Neill, Burial Ground is sure to be Stick Figure’s most well thought-out and inspiring album to date.

With his fifth self-written and produced album Burial Ground, Stick Figure rouses those otherworldly vibes through a matchless union of perfectionism, rhythm, and harmony. Front man Scott Woodruff stylized over 65 minutes of sweet-tempered reggae and dub, making Burial Ground his lengthiest effort.

Known for the use of thicker, more progressive basslines and a throbbing skank, Stick Figure has constructed a matchless island-type vibe in the reggae community. Furthermore, many of the songs are laced an echoic stratum to enhance this euphoric atmosphere. The instrumental track Dreamland, is a prime example of Stick Figure’s pensive themes and is an ironic capper to such an explorative collection of song-themes. The rest of album predictably endows messages of self-indulgence and relaxation, but also covers topics of love, conscious reflection, addiction, and more." - Matt Emodi
