"The two, who first hit it off at SXSW, are collaborating on Perry's new album, which should come out on Narnack sometime in the middle of next year. W.K.'s role in the project is as co-producer, arranger, and all-around collaborator. So far, he and Perry have worked on the album's instrumentation, lyrics, and general sound.
While a title and tracklist is still forthcoming, the record is a mixture of collaborations with other artists and new Perry originals. So far, the guest list includes the Slits' Ari Up and singer/songwriter Aimee Allen.
Perry has no tour dates at this time, but a North American tour is in the works."

The virtual reality of the "Rolling..." threads is starting to impinge on the real world.

As a AWK fan I don't know how I feel about this.

AWK produced the new Sightings disc. It's amazing.

^^^^^^^^ otm on sightings, great album
this Lee Perry is ...... not so good. wanted to like it.
first track ("Shine") is quality, after that most of the rest of the record follows the formula of extreme pottymouth (typical lyric -- "greedy motherfucker, greedy fatherfucker, evil cocksucker, greedy pussysucker") over pretty slick digi-reggae

maybe digi isn't the right word, it's not all keyboards. more like roots run through a sampler with modern bass sounds.
couple more songs toward the end are ok, "War Dance" and "God Save His King"
mostly a disappointment though. imo.
