Album Notes & Community Reviews

The third studio album from Adrian Sherwood's post-punk and reggae collective leans heavily into a deeply authentic, traditional roots reggae sound. 'Foundation Steppers' features lush, organic brass arrangements and Ari Up's distinctive vocal presence, drenched in the signature psychedelic tape-delay of the On-U Sound studio. The album stands as a warm, hypnotic triumph of the UK dub scene.
