Rating: Take a super flashy fifth-generation Apache, give him a microphone and a guitar, and there you have a project clearly aimed at bringing joy and lightheartedness to people's hearts, as suggested by its very name: Medicine For The People
Nahko Bear, that's his name, together with the MFTP, churns out Dark As Night, an album that makes lightheartedness its driving force;
An album in which an infinite variety of genres is masterfully gathered, and in which the most diverse instruments contribute to the musical component;
But all this is irrelevant. The album's strength is certainly the emotional component.
It's the ability to lift your spirits...
...The ability to give us a smile...
...The ability to make us "shake our butts like fools while comfortably sitting on our chairs" (Inevitable in the end-track "I Mua").
Dark As Night is an album that flows with great ease, with a listening difficulty equal to "something that tends to minus infinity" but this doesn't mean that there aren't beautiful tracks like: the opener "Aloha Ke Akua", the "very reggae-like" "Warrior People" or the sweeter "7 Feathers".
