The big tree - Stand high patrol
To develop our ideas and knowledge of the reggae/dub genre i am going to look into similar artists and their image along with artists who represent similar themes to our concept.
Major lazer is a widely known reggae and dub group , based in Kingston Jamaica . Their usual themes involve the musics heritage , for example the video for 'Get Free' is very artistic , it involves jamiacan locals and their day to day lives , along with the group preforming . As you can see below Major lazer show themes of artistic value , their image is commonly related to the characters they use in the album artwork , although it actually has no relevance to the music they make , the cartoons they use are interesting and artistic .
The major lazer website is very visual and interesting , this is quite a contrast from stand high patrol or mungos hifi . Whos image is very based upon their music and not the publicity side of the dub industry . As you can see below , mungos hifi , a very similar group too stand high patrol have very basic album covers , they do use music videos which tend to be very graphic or performance based , they have no real image to do with fashion , their music is very much about personality and metaphorical/stereotypical reggae music . Their website is fairly plain and really emphasizes tours , concerts and music videos.
