Repentance

Description

The new studio album and follow-up to Panic in Babylon from Grammy winning Reggae icon Lee Scratch Perry, co-produced by Andrew W.K. Limited edition double LP in deluxe gatefold sleeve. Includes bonus, extended remix of Pum Pum not found on CD! By now youve heard the story thats been covered by every major music media outlet from Billboard to Pitchfork. Starting with a chance meeting between Perry and hyper-energetic artist/producer Andrew W.K. at SXSW in 2006 that spawned an unthinkable friendship leading to a musical collaboration that would result in Lee Perrys remarkable 54th studio album Repentance. Recorded on the West coast at Music Inc. and providing the groundwork that Lee and Andrew would later build upon at Headgear Studio in Williamsburg. Repentance marks Perrys welcome return to the ever-changing musical landscape following 2006s Panic in Babylon released by Narnack Records. Repentance fuses Perrys signature style with a truly diverse collection of contemporary musical influences. From the sexually-charged club anthem Pum Pum to the infectious rhythm of War Dance, Lees mastery of all sounds makes it easy to see where artists like M.I.A., Spank Rock, and Hot Chip cut their teeth and found their sound. -Guest artists include electronic maven Moby, seminal producer Don Fleming, bassist Josh Werner of Matisyahu, drummer Brian Chippendale of staccato noise duo Lightning Bolt! and adult entertainer Sasha Grey.
