Best known for his work with Chapter And The Verse, Kirsty MacColl, A Guy
Called Gerald and The Orb, Aniff Akinola has now turned his hand to the
Delta Swamp blues and come up with The Ironweed Project. “Dustbowl” is a
collection of beat driven bluesy pop songs, that immediately brings Beck,
The Alabama 3, Moby and The Fun Loving Criminals to mind. It’s slightly
cheesey with a certain amount of comic charm, but it’ll work a treat at next
year’s festivals, and it’ll probably get plenty of Radio 1 evening play. A
90’s influenced head nodding treat for the stoners.
