Jam Baxter<\/strong>,\u00a0Dabbla<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0GhostTown<\/strong>\u00a0return to complete the\u00a0Dead Players<\/strong>\u00a0trilogy this September.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

\u2018Faster than The Speed of Death<\/em>\u2019 expertly represents the most recent chapter in a decade (or more) of music making from the trio.<\/p>\n

Born in Soul-2-Soul\u2019s old studio, turned legendary squat, in Holloway, North London, before evolving \/ mutating into a collaboration from three different corners of the globe (Baxter\u00a0<\/strong>living in Mexico City,\u00a0Dabbla\u00a0<\/strong>hopping around Europe and\u00a0GhostTown\u00a0<\/strong>settled in sunny Yorkshire) \u2018Faster than The Speed of Death<\/em>\u2019 celebrates evolution, while staying true to the previous iterations of the\u00a0Dead Players\u00a0<\/strong>universe.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Collaborating from distance can have its pitfalls, however, this isn\u2019t\u00a0Dead Players<\/strong>\u00a0first rodeo.<\/p>\n

Once the blueprint was established,\u00a0Dabbla\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0GhostTown\u00a0<\/strong>flew out to Mexico to be in the same timezone as\u00a0Baxter<\/strong>; finalising songs, shooting videos and eating tamales at the summit of ancient temples all vital parts of the album process.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

The result?<\/p>\n

A pitch perfect listen that emphatically completes the triptych. \u2018Faster than The Speed of Death<\/em>\u2019 is a powerful reminder of the\u00a0Dead Players<\/strong>\u00a0universe; a joyride back down the rabbit hole where everything sparkles crimson and green, streetlights bouncing off the side of the getaway car,\u00a0Baxter\u00a0<\/strong>and\u00a0Dabbla\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>inimitable lyricism expertly propped up by\u00a0GhostTown\u2019s\u00a0<\/strong>thunderous production across 13-tracks.<\/p>\n

To celebrate the album announcement we\u2019ve dropped the video for\u00a0\u2018The Sooner We Die the Sooner We Can All Go Home\u2019<\/em>, single #02 lifted from Album #03.<\/p>\n
