"Brian Brewster aka Aquarius Heaven presents Bato Chargé, his first EP on Circus Company since 2013's Parallela Mundi (CCS 076EP). In Brewster's native Haitian Creole, ""Bato Chargé"" means ""Overloaded Boat""; with the Caribbean rooted in the history of displaced humanity, the groove of ""Bato Chargé"" takes on a defiant, hopeful tone directly inspired by the traditional percussive music style gwo ka, while lyrically dealing with the pressing issue of refugees escaping conflict, poverty, and famine. ""50 Drops"" takes on a noirish tone, while the digi-dub skank of ""Marie Galante"" plays off Brewster's roots in reggae and dancehall." Bato Chargé, 50 Drops, Marie Galante
