Scottish producer Barry Can’t Swim’s new album When Will We Land is out on October 20th on Ninja Tune’s Technicolour label.
The musician has already released some bangers from the record in ‘Sunsleeper’, a Bonobo-Maribou State-esque sunshining stonker and ‘How It Feels’.
‘Deadbeat Gospel’ features the Northern Irish poet Jack Loughrey somedeadbeat, and was recorded in Dublin after a show last year.
“I hadn’t seen my mate somedeadbeat for about 6 years but he’d come along to the show that night. As everyone was sitting around getting steaming, he started reciting this poem he’d written. It was class” Barry reminisces. “I pulled out my phone, pressed record, and asked him to recite it one more time…Long story short, we turned it into a tune. It’s called “Deadbeat Gospel”.
