Jonny Greenwood Is The Controller
Trojan Records is set to release a cool reggae compilation, curated by Radiohead sonic wizard Jonny Greenwood. Given his eclectic solo projects and his otherworldly manipulation of Radiohead's oeuvre, reggae's a more likely fit than you'd first think; the genre's giants have pushed possibilities in the studio in a way that Jonny has mastered over Radiohead's classics. The compilation's 17 tracks deep of ska, dub, rocksteady, and roots. Here's a taste:
Delroy Wilson - "This Life Makes Me Wonder" (MP3)
Lee "Scratch" Perry - "Black Panta" (MP3)
Johnny Greenwood Is The Controller is out 3/6 on Trojan.
