Sorrow - Dreamstone

When I first heard that Sorrow had an album being released on Monotreme Records, I simply spat a greeny at my screen and refused anything to do with Night Tracks for three weeks. After a while, I decided that purely for the sake of the readers, I should check it out...

Sorrow, despite completely turning his back on Birmingham, has gained quite a reputation as someone that you can rely on for top-notch skeletal, garage infused jams. Like Burial, but ruder and does more tracks with the vocalist CoMa. However, lately, he's been putting out a few grime pieces as part of the 8-bar revival led by the likes of Kahn. If, as he is known to do, he turns his back on his previous sound, then this album is a perfect parting gift. 

Sorrow Dropping An Album?

Big up Sorrow. A long awaited physical release is in the works for the Bristol-based producer, on the oddly-named Monotreme Records. Dreamstone is a collection of 12 tracks that showcase Sorrow's dominion over the bleak, shuffling world of dark garage. Plus Sorrow has the sickest bass.

Anyway, forget that he completely turned his back on his 0121 roots and check out these two free downloads from the album to give you all the convincing you should need.

The album drops on May 13th on CD, LP and digi. Grab it here.
