In 2001 they took on the challenge to create a live rescore of Mathieu Kassovitz's classic French film "La Haine" at the Barbican's "Only Connect" festival in London. Their unique sound is a combination of hard jungle rhythms, dub bass lines, industrial, energetic punk rock guitars, sitar and haunting sounds sampled from traditional Indian music, supported by militant, fast and burning ragga-rap lyrics, and have taken their fiery mix of music and social activism to far-flung places where conventional western rock bands rarely tour: Morocco, India, Cuba, the favelas of Brazil, and now to Guernsey. In 2000 they played a choice slot on Glastonbury's Pyramid stage to a rapturous reception.ĭuring their long and productive career of over 20 years Asian Dub Foundation have shared the stage with the likes of the Beastie Boys, Rage Against The Machine, The Cure, Primal Scream and Radiohead, They have also recorded with Chick D (Public Enemy), Sinead O’Connor, who featured on their 2003 single “1000 Mirrors”, and Iggy Pop providing the vocals for their version of The Stooges classic “No Fun” on their 2008 album “Punkara”.

The Correspondents, Fear and Delight, is out today. Through combining the footage, Wilks is able to create a space in which synchronised multiples exist in a rotationally symmetric, kaleidoscopic dimension. Naren Wilks describes his process as using “composited camera” (multiple cameras acting as one), to depict the same action from different viewpoints. Together, producer Chucks and singer Mr Bruce have condensed their accumulation of musical knowledge into a collection they are satisfied with in their forthcoming Puppet Loosely Strung.įear and Delight is accompanied by a curious video that examines the limits of a new technique in filmmaking, pioneered by an emerging director. Aside from travelling the world the pair have been working on their debut album which has evolved over time through their live sets, combining a multitude of genres from jazz and blues to electro and drum ’n’ bass. The Correspondents have spent the last four years touring, performing in front of crowds of up to 12,000. Meanwhile, Mr Bruce’s vocals weigh up the dangers of entering a relationship that has the potential to be both exciting and destructive. With a chorus that encourages audiences to overcome doubts, the new single demonstrates Chucks’ production abilities as he mixes driving basslines with dynamic drum sequences and glitchy electro breakdowns. Take a look behind the scenes of their latest music video with exclusive footage. Producing alternative pop-fueled catchy anthems, Fear and Delight is a continuation of their unique sound. The duo have become renowned for their live shows and have been included in The Telegraph’s “Top Ten Glastonbury Highlights” for the past two years. The release proceeds next year’s March launch of their debut album, Puppet Loosely Strung. The new single from The Correspondents, Fear and Delight, is out today via From Our Own.
