Lee “Scratch” Perry and Brian Eno Share New Song “Here Come the Warm Dreads”: Listen

Madison Bloom

Many years ago, Brian Eno called dub legend Lee “Scratch” Perry “one of the geniuses of recorded music.” Now, the two have collaborated for a new song called “Here Come the Warm Dreads.” The name is a play on the title track from Eno’s 1974 record Here Come the Warm Jets. Give it listen below.

“Here Come the Warm Dreads” is the latest track from Heavy Rain, Lee “Scratch” Perry and co-producer Adrian Sherwood’s dub companion to the 2019 LP Rainford. Eno contributes synthesizer to “Here Come the Warm Dreads,” which is a heavily-processed reimagining of Rainford’s “Makumba Rock.” The album is out December 6 via On-U Sound.

“When we approached Brian about working on a track he didn’t hesitate and said he would happily do something with Lee Scratch Perry,” Adrian Sherwood said in a statement. “We worked together on a quick dub version of the track and took what was a crazy tune even further out there. I have always wanted to do something with Brian and hopefully there will be more opportunity in the future.”
