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.

“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.
