About this album
Movin In is a tight, politically charged 1984 statement from Melbourne ska-reggae outfit Strange Tenants. Blending the snap of ska with reggae's heavier pulse, the album turns social commentary into dance music, with songs like Corporation and This Is the U.S.A. reflecting the band’s sharp ear for everyday politics and street-level detail. Strange Tenants were central to Australia’s early ska revival, and Movin In helped establish their reputation for energetic live-feel arrangements, strong horn lines and a distinctly local voice within an imported style that they made their own.
