Adrian Sherwood has revealed his first new solo music since 2012 in the form of a four-track EP, titled The Grand Designer.
Due out next month, one of its cuts features Sherwood’s late friend and longtime collaborator Lee “Scratch” Perry, who passed away in 2021. The record forms the latest instalment of the UK dub pioneer’s long-running “disco plate” series, which he’s put out on his own On-U Sound imprint sporadically since the 80s.
Sherwood’s last solo release was the album Survival & Resistance. In the 13 years since it came out, he has worked with Panda Bear, Pinch and African Head Charge, among others.
Listen to The Grand Designer‘s title track below.
On-U Sound will release The Grand Designer on June 13, 2025.
