Review of Black Traffic: Limited

After two years from the previous album "Wonderlustre", Skunk Anansie have their sixth chapter "Black traffic", the third since their reunion in 2009.
The work was carried out in the last year and a half, that consists in Los Angeles and later recorded in London with producer Chris Sheldon (Foo Fighters, Pixies, Byffy Clyro). The sound of Skin and associates remains granite and aggressive, with the voice of the singer (who recently married his partner) and guitars in the foreground.
With regard to the main themes of the record, here are the words of the band itself, which is well also explain the meaning of the title: "In the center are the ideas being put forward by Occupy Wall Street (the protest movement against financial capitalism) and its" derivative ", Occupy London, against economic inequality and the lack of available and affordable homes in the UK, but also the scandal Barclays, the riots in Greece. All of these things together give you the idea that there is something moving in the shadows beneath the life of every day. That there is a small group of people holding the power to manipulate reality. A traffic black, hidden under the surface known to the common people. The first single 'I believed in you' are talking about the disappointment of many in the political class rise to power. Many people have been disappointed, for example, by their leaders. We all want to vote, but for whom? ".
