Geoff Barrow, best known for forming and producing 90's trip-hop pioneers Portishead, has announced that his Hip Hop side project Quakers will release a self-titled album via Stones Throw records on 9th April 2012.
Quakers is centred around three producers; Fuzzface (Geoff Barrow), 7-Stu-7 (Portishead's engineer) and Australian producer Katalyst, alongside a collective of 35 MC's including well known names such as Prince Po, The Pharcyde’s Booty Brown and Dead Prez, Stones Throw Record's talent including Aloe Blacc and Guilty Simpson and lesser known talents discovered online.
The music of Quakers first appeared in graffiti artist Banksy's 2011 film Exit Through The Gift Shop.
Quakers is one of three Geoff Barrows projects set for 2012. The instrumental, experimental trio BEAK> will release their second album in May, while new project DROKK, comprised of Barrows and soundtrack composer Geoff Salisbury, will release a record of stark electronica later in the year.
Alongside his musical projects, Geoff Barrows also runs his own label Invada Records. You can check out the label's material in our recent news piece: LISTEN: Invada Records Sampler by Portishead's Geoff Barrow
