Brian Eno and dub legend Lee “Scratch” Perry have collaborated a new song called “Here Come the Warm Dreads.” The name is a play on the title track from Brian Eno’s 1974 record Here Come the Warm Jets.
“Here Come the Warm Dreads” is the latest track from Heavy Rain, Lee “Scratch” Perry and co-producer Adrian Sherwood’s dub companion to the 2019 LP Rainford. Eno contributes a synthesizer to “Here Come the Warm Dreads,” which is a heavily-processed reimagining of Rainford’s “Makumba Rock.” The album has a release dated for December 6.
“When we approached Brian about working on a track, he didn’t hesitate and said he would happily do something with Lee Scratch Perry,” Adrian Sherwood said in a statement. “We worked together on a quick dub version of the track and took what was a crazy tune even further out there. I have always wanted to do something with Brian, and hopefully, there will be more opportunity in the future.”
