London collective Soothsayers release their new full-length project with New York-born, São Paulo-based producer-engineer-bassist, Victor Rice. Soothsayers Meets Victor Rice & Friends features 11 instrumental recordings, lovingly assembled between London, São Paulo and Lisbon.
The project blossomed from earlier sessions in São Paulo for Soothsayers’ vocal album ‘We Are Many’ and continued across continents and technologies during dark days and uncertain times.
Strengthened by the already powerful musical connection between Soothsayers' incredible core musicians and some of Brazil's top musicians, the result is a whole new set of uplifting and defiant instrumentals.
A selection of tracks – titled Soothsayers Meets Victor Rice & Friends Vol 1 - will also be made available on limited edition 12” vinyl.
Producer Victor Rice is a Grammy-winning bassist, who rose to prominence in the 1980s and 90s during America’s new wave ska boom, before becoming the producer of choice for New York’s legendary Easy Star Records.
The london based Soothsayers have earned themselves a reputation that has culminated into respected veterans of London’s eclectic and socially conscious music scence which has yielded impressive collaborations a cadre of artists including the likes of Johnny Clarke, Cornel Campbell, Michael Prophet, Little Roy, Mad Professor, Dennis Bovell, and Earl 16 just to name few.
