I learned something new this week: Apparently, Westminster is a city/town/borough in Los Angeles and not just the part of London that’s obsessed with inbred dogs. Anyway, this is the part of LA where you can find the Skariginals hanging out, recording music, and making fairly great reggae, punk, and ska music with a laid back vibe.

The Skariginals dropped another full length album on August 11th, appropriately titled Get Out of Your Head. Despite not being the title of any of the tracks on the album, that is the perfect title. Honestly, they summed up the album with those five words better than I could sum up the album in this entire review. While the songs don’t necessarily all follow a theme, if there was one, it would be the advice to get out of your head and experience joy.

The album begins with “Just Anything”. I feel like this track is a good introduction to the album as it features a lot of its themes, and has solid horns. The title references the line “I don’t wanna be just anything at all”, and the other lyrics reference not wanting other people’s advice, because what works for one person might not work for another, especially if you don’t have the same goals or life path. The song has a solid rocking guitar solo, good drums throughout, and reassurances that the protagonist is okay. The song ends with a grand “Tequila”-inspired outro on the horns.

The album rapidly transitions to “New Day”, which has much more of a reggae vibe and advises that it’s a new day, to get out of your head (where have I heard that line before?) and to take on the world. This song stands out for an extended saxophone solo, a lot more keys that carry more of the rhythm, and more extensive use of backing vocal melodies. I love this as a second song because it does almost all the things the previous track didn’t, and immediately showcases some of the diversity on the album instead of reinforcing the same musical elements and themes.

“Outfit” is back to ska punk, but is a lot more sing-song and catchy with great drums, as well as a dominant upstroke guitar rhythm that persists throughout the track. The song is about unity, self-love, self-confidence, and belonging. The song even features a section with claps and spoken word, and a call to “love one’s self completely” and a rebellion against despair! Damn, it’s easy to sing along with this song.

Somewhere between “Keep Us Around” and “I Try”, I keep getting a weird Margaritaville vibe that I can never place. They are slower songs that don’t feel like ska punk or reggae, although they both are clearly ska songs. They both have this weird vibe that I can’t place that keeps me looking for a lost shaker of salt, and I can’t begin to explain it. So I won’t. Sorry.

However, I will talk about “Monica Sage”. The song is funky and damn good. It feels somewhere between Sublime and Primus if either were actually ska, while discussing the need for all ages venues. (Please, all bands should strive to play all ages venues and all venues should strive to host all ages shows). The lyrics tell the story of Monica, who isn’t old enough to get into the venue, and her fight with the bouncer trying to get in, or at least loitering outside to hear the music. Lyrics about hearing the bass through the walls lead to outstanding bass solos and a line about hearing the kick of the drum follows suit with a helluva fun little drum solo. Eventually Monica sneaks in, only to be caught while inside by the same bouncer.

(Remember: ACAB, and almost every one of us fell in love with music before we were 21; some of our most memorable shows were when we were young. We need to absolutely not gatekeep music, and foster community. If you think there is a problem with minors in the music scene, then you are saying you believe there are predators in the scene and you are more concerned with catering to predators than providing fun safe spaces for community.)

Near the end of the album is a really interesting song that I am in love with: “Reanimate”. It starts off slow, and not quite haunting, although there are spooky effects added in like bird calls and crickets. The song features a full track of assorted noises that accompany every part of the song. The vocals are slow and stretched, with reverb added, to feel more spooky, as it talks about raising the dead to dance the night away. For me, I love tabletop role playing games, and just started playing a necromancer, so the vibe of this song is perfect. The tempo picks up as the chorus repeats the word reanimate, and the horns get lively as fuck, begging the dead to dance. Eerie sounds accompany before the tempo drops again, the keys leading the vibe.

Then a commanding voice takes over: the Reanimator, commanding the listener to – once again – get out of their head (there’s that line again) and realize they are alive and to fucking live their life. Here the instrumentation explodes. Full jazz, ska explosions, drums, guitars, everyone begging the floor to burst into dance. REANIMATE! As the tempo drops back down, the guitar carries on a rhythm while the rest of the band slowly exits. The audio track plays broken pieces of old radio and TV broadcasts, which carries on for almost two minutes as the song winds down.

The album ends as it begins, playing an acoustic version of “Just Anything”, the opening track. Therefore the album closes with the same message.
