Nearly five years following Lee “Scratch” Perry’s death, the dub legend’s final album is arriving. Produced with Mouse on Mars, Spatial, No Problem lands June 5 via Domino. The German electronic duo also shared the lead single, “Rockcurry,” which you can listen to below.
Spatial, No Problem’s eight tracks were produced in Mouse on Mars’ Berlin-based Paraverse Studio in December 2019. The album’s title comes from a conversation the group had with Perry about his familiarity with Spatial Audio. “Spatial,” he responded, “No problem.”
“We hardly spoke about what we were doing. We met and got going,” Mouse on Mars’s Jan St. Werner said in a press statement. “He was laughing a lot and we laughed along. We also cooked and ate fish soup and papayas.”
From June 5th to June 13th, Barbican’s Project A Black Planet exhibition will showcase the album in the performing arts center’s studio theatre, The Pit. The sound installation will present the album in spatial audio on a D&B Soundscape sound system.
