The Hip Abduction—a band fueled by African rhythms, dub spirit, and roots soul—are proud to release To the Ends of the Earth, available everywhere today. This release, a sonic expedition past genre barriers, aiming to guide listeners towards anthemic bliss, is the band's fourth full-length independent album. The band, David New (Lead Vocals, Guitar), Chris Powers (Bass), Dave Johnson (Baritone, Tenor Saxophone), Cody Moore (Keyboards), Matt Poynter (Drums, Vocals), and Justino Walker (Guitar), call St. Petersburg, FL home and mined an expansive well of local and global influences to sharpen their signature style on To the Ends of the Earth. New describes the sound best as, “an ethereal journey to the ends of the earth,” after which the album was named. The band, along with producers Jackson Hoffman and Ryder Stuart, set out to create a timeless record, remembering back to their early days of informal jam sessions. “It helped us come to terms with who we are as a band, defining our sound. We weren't trying to sound like anything but ourselves,” says New. And by sounding like themselves, they continue to bring the laid back, beachy vibes they're known for to this new album. Creative Loafing said that the track “Summer Love” “might actually make you want to book a trip to Mexico,” while Live for Live Music called“Float” a “feel-good tune...taking listeners on a soothing ride to a tropical beachside atmosphere far from home.” To the Ends of the Earth is available everywhere today.
