Lee “Scratch” Perry’s final album is due to be posthumously released this June, almost five years on from the dub pioneer’s death.

Titled Spatial, No Problem, the eight-track record was produced in collaboration with Mouse On Mars at their Berlin-based Paraverse Studio in December 2019. The album name is derived from a conversation that the duo had with Perry about Spatial Audio.

In a statement, Mouse On Mars’ Jan St. Werner said: “We hardly spoke about what we were doing. We met and got going. He was laughing a lot and we laughed along. We also cooked and ate fish soup and papayas.”

The album will be specially presented as part of the Project A Black Planet exhibition at London’s Barbican on 5 to 13 June. Housed within the venue’s studio theatre, The Pit, the installation will showcase the album in spatial audio on a D&B Soundscape sound system.

Listen to lead track ‘Rockcurry’ below.

Domino will release Spatial, No Problem on 5 June 2026.
