Description

Jack Johnson, everyone's favourite pro-surfer-turned-indie folk powerhouse, reached out to Lee “Scratch" Perry in March 2020 asking him to produce a dub album based on Jack’s most loved recordings. After a year-long pause, caused by the Pandemic, Scratch began work on original music and mixes in his Jamaica studio, sending song sketches back to Johnson in Hawaii. Working between islands, the pair determined a direction for the album. However, Scratch sadly passed away later that year bringing the project to a halt. 

In 2022 Jack and Subatomic Sound System (Scratch’s band of the last decade) connected directly and finished the album. The album's complete tracklist reveals the involvement of dub titans Mad Professor, Scientist, Nightmares on Wax & Dennis Bovell.
