Sorrow (Vinyl EP)

In Sorrow, Joe Armon-Jones flexes a microcosm of the outstanding musicianship of 21st century UK dub, soul and jazz: roping in players from the likes of Nubiyan Twist, Ezra Collective, and the bands of Loyle Carner and Celeste... not to mention the dulcet tones of shining reggae vocalist Liam Bailey. Flanked by the effortless and laidback-yet-tight grooves of Armon Jones' production and arrangements, three eclectic versions offer up a cruisy and infectious listen. - Rosetta

‘Sorrow’ is the third in the ‘Aquarii In Dub’ series from musician and producer Joe Armon-Jones, written and produced by Joe in his own studio and released on his own label Aquarii Records.

Lead single ‘Sorrow’ sees him link up with Nottingham’s Liam Bailey for a single evoking the sound of classic Studio 1 recordings from the golden era of Reggae and dub.

Joe Armon-Jones flexes his versatility by including two additional versions of ‘Sorrow’, one led by Ezra Collective’s James Mollison on sax, and the other lead by himself on keys; both takes reimagine the original track and breathe new life into an already outstanding work. 

As well as Liam Bailey and James Mollison, Ceasefire features Black Midi’s Morgan Simpson on drums, Nubiyan Twist bassist Luke Wynter, and Mark Mollison guitarist for Loyle Carner and Celeste.

Produced and mixed by Joe Armon-Jones, mastered by Noah Priddle, and released via Armon-Jones own imprint Aquarii Records.
