After just releasing their fourth studio album Light The Horizon we were able to have Eon Sinclair answer a few questions to get a better look at Bedouin Soundclash.
How would you best describe your sound?
Street Soul; reggae roots that grew into a tree that sprouted folk, rock, world, and electronic fruits.
What do you imagine your listeners doing while hearing your songs?
I imagine them listening with intent and coming away from the experience having felt something, something that leaves them wondering, something that feels like it's about them and is reflective or cathartic, or something that leaves them smiling.
Who are your musical influences?
Too many to list, but The Clash, The Wailers, Sam Cooke, Paul Simon, Sizzla, Damon Albarn, The Funk Brothers, etc, etc, etc.
What other hobbies do you have besides music?
I love football (soccer), I like to socialize with family and friends, video games (PS3), watching sports, shopping for clothes.
What are your musical guilty pleasures?
Not so guilty about it but Hall and Oates.
When writing, what comes first, music or lyrics?
I don’t really write lyrics, so music.
Are there plans to make a music video for any of the songs you've recorded recently?
We just shot a video for a song called "Elongo" on our latest record "Light the Horizon" which should be out soon.
If you weren't in music what do you think you'd be doing?
I think I would be an elementary school teacher as that's what I went to school for.
Any plans for touring and supporting your music in the future?
We will continue to tour our record where and when it makes sense to do so, but we'll also be focused on making more and better music.
I don’t even preach, but I have a lot of catch up reading to do here!
