ONE MORE REASON

One More Reason brings Soothsayers love of dub to the fore – featuring legendary reggae vocalists Johnny Clarke, Michael Prophet and Linval Thompson alongside contributions from UK dub legends Mad Professor and Nick Manasseh – the album harnesses deep dub grooves to perfectly compliment the pulsating Afro-beat rhythms and the mighty horn arrangements that Soothsayers are well known for.

Drawing on a range of influences from Jah Wobble, Fela kuti, The Wailers, King Tubby and Lee ‘Scratch’ Perry to The Specials, Hugh Masakela, Roots Manuva and Massive Attack, One More Reason is infused with the musical culture of the band’s base in Brixton, one of London’s most culturally diverse neighbourhoods and was recorded in their SW2 based studios. Led by trumpeter Hopcraft and saxophonist Rahman, Soothsayers also features Idris’ sister Zoe Rahman on keys, guitarists Phil Dawson and Derek Johnson, bassist Kodjovi Kush, drummer Patrick Illingworth, percussionists Spry and Satin Singh , vocalist Julia Biel and a host of guest musicians including South African veteran Lucky Ranku.
