Mr G has announced details of his forthcoming ninth studio album, The Fifth Chakra (Ambient Space Tek), which is set to be released on his Phoenix G imprint on 25 October.
The ten-track album sees the the British-Jamaican artist explore the realms of electronica, building on the experimental sounds he traversed on 2023’s Pearls Don’t Lay on The Shore long player.
“Never did I think I’d get to a meditative place and learn restraint,” says Mr G, aka Colin McBean, about his new project. “This is the album I’ve always wanted to make, never thinking I could – after loving others’ bass-heavy albums, it’s a joy to put my own in the mix.”
The largely ambient album is a departure from the thumping beats that Mr G has become famous for, but it also displays his personal, emotional side – tracks like Constant, Solar Eclipse NYC and The 5th Chakra encapsulate an artist allowing himself the freedom to roam through his influences.
Or, as Mr G puts it himself, his sonic exploration is like an “old oak …still strong and growing.”
Mr. G’s The Fifth Chakra (Ambient Space Tek) is released via Phoenix G on 25 October. More information will be release here in due course.
