Quakers Drop First New Music in 8 Years with Supa K: Heavy Tremors Featuring 50 Beats by Katalyst

Quakers have released their first new music in eight years with the 50 track album, Supa K: Heavy Tremors. Made up of Katalyst, 7-Stu-7 Geoff Barrow of Portishead and Beak, the rap supergroup released their self-titled debut in 2012. It appears from comments by Barrow that this release consists only of music created by Katalyst.

His response to the tweet indicates that he’ll be involved in future Quakers releases. The band will be releasing a double album on November 13.

Katalyst had done the majority of the production for Quakers’ first album, and acts as the group’s main producer and songwriter. Along with the album release announcement, Barrow alluded to more music being released on Twitter, saying Supa K: Heavy Tremors is only part one.

“So Part One Of the @quakerbeats is released today,” Barrow said on Twitter.

Barrow also shared a photo of himself celebrating the album’s release on Twitter. A comment in the photo’s thread asked if the new album would be available as a physical copy, with Quakers’ official Twitter account replying that a vinyl will be available on November 13.

“November 13th 2xLP,” Quakers’ official Twitter page said.

Supa K: Heavy Tremors features brief beats, each under two minutes. The album highlights the versatility of Katalyst’s production. “Speak 2 Me” lends a transcendent, underwater sound while “Loud Music” gives bouncing horns and popping instrumentals.  Fusing horns, electronic synths, drums, guitars and more, the album flexes Quakers’ skill and continual progress. Each track sounds entirely different from the next, encapsulating the variety of styles found in Hip Hop.
