Adrian Sherwood - The Grand Designer
Adrian Sherwood returns with his first music as a solo artist in 13 years with the mutating rhythmic soundscapes of The Grand Designer EP, the latest instalment in On-U Sound's long-running and much-loved 'disco plate' series.
The title track serves as a trailer for a forthcoming full-length album, with different instruments filtered through Sherwood's bank of effects over an irresistible groove, and typically deft percussive detail.
"Let's Come Together" flips the same rhythm into a mystical dub, with sadly departed friend and collaborator Lee "Scratch" Perry providing typically off-the-wall vocal interjections. It also serves as a reminder that Sherwood has been far from idle since his last release under his own name: in recent years releasing critically acclaimed new albums with not only the Upsetter, but also Horace Andy, Sonic Boom (Spacemen 3) & Panda Bear (Animal Collective), African Head Charge, Spoon, Creation Rebel, Pinch and more.
