The Redneck Manifesto - Friendship

 The follow-up to 2004’s I Am Brazil saw The Rednecks put pen to paper with the ever-expanding Richter Collective and set about proving they’d lost none of their touch or flair. Excellent lead track ‘Black Apple’ sets the standard from the off, and it’s one that the band manage to live up to across ten labyrinthine tracks. Renowned for exhibiting an almost ADD-like approach to their craft, The Rednecks here mix irresistible bass- and guitar-led grooves with furious riffing, ambient textures and some notable electronic flourishes. It’s quite the achievement to craft complex, intricate music that still courses with as much vitality as Friendship does.
