Dekmantel Podcast 445 – Adrian Sherwood/African Head Charge Tracklist

African Head Charge is a legendary psychedelic dub outfit who have recently returned to their home label On-U Sound with A Trip To Bolgatanga, their first new album in 12 years. As always it finds the peerless Adrian Sherwood at the controls and joins the dots between what the collective has done before and what they are doing now, all with a distinctly Ghanian twist. The signature drums and chants remain at the core of the album of course, as well as plenty of other thrilling new sonic concoctions on keys, guitar, percussion, strings, vocals, kologo and more. It’s the latest chapter in a fascinating story that has already seen them release some 16 albums since its inception in 1981.

This week’s mix is a deep dive into the uniquely melon-twisting sounds of African Head Charge. Sherwood’s mastery at the controls means sound is twisted and contorted, dubbed out and reverb-rich from start to finish. Traditional dub sounds melt away into ghoulish vocal passages, unhinged instrumentals come and go and the collective’s signature sense of dark soul and mystic ritual holds the whole thing together in a spellbinding fashion.
