Low Riding (1998) – Van der Want Letcher

Low Riding (1998) – Van Der Want & Letcher

Van der Want and Letcher combine on a complex work that could well be the local album of the year…a multifaceted work full of surprises, an amalgam of folk, rock and hip-hop with something of the attitude of punk. Shaun de Waal, Mail & Guardian

A depth of raw feeling runs through their work, interlaced with a seam of cool, dry intelligence. It’s this interplay of conflict and harmony between feeling and thought that shapes the album as a rich and mature work. It is enigmatic, mysterious, angry, sad, defiant, beautiful and unique. It goes down as a landmark South African recording. Alex Sudheim, Personality Magazine
