Jam Baxter, Dabbla and GhostTown return to complete the Dead Players trilogy this September.
‘Faster than The Speed of Death’ expertly represents the most recent chapter in a decade (or more) of music making from the trio.
Born in Soul-2-Soul’s old studio, turned legendary squat, in Holloway, North London, before evolving / mutating into a collaboration from three different corners of the globe (Baxter living in Mexico City, Dabbla hopping around Europe and GhostTown settled in sunny Yorkshire) ‘Faster than The Speed of Death’ celebrates evolution, while staying true to the previous iterations of the Dead Players universe.
Collaborating from distance can have its pitfalls, however, this isn’t Dead Players first rodeo.
Once the blueprint was established, Dabbla and GhostTown flew out to Mexico to be in the same timezone as Baxter; finalising songs, shooting videos and eating tamales at the summit of ancient temples all vital parts of the album process.
| PRE-ORDER ‘FASTER THAN THE SPEED OF DEATH’ |
The result?
A pitch perfect listen that emphatically completes the triptych. ‘Faster than The Speed of Death’ is a powerful reminder of the Dead Players universe; a joyride back down the rabbit hole where everything sparkles crimson and green, streetlights bouncing off the side of the getaway car, Baxter and Dabbla’s inimitable lyricism expertly propped up by GhostTown’s thunderous production across 13-tracks.
To celebrate the album announcement we’ve dropped the video for ‘The Sooner We Die the Sooner We Can All Go Home’, single #02 lifted from Album #03.
