Geoff Barrow of Portishead has a new hip-hop project, Quakers, as the Guardian (via Beats Per Minute) points out. Stones Throw will release their 41-track album this spring, samples from which are available here.

Barrow helped produce the record under the name "Fuzzface," working with Portishead engineer 7STU7 and Australia's DJ Katalyst. Over 35 artists contributed, including Dead Prez, Prince Po, Guilty Simpson, and Aloe Blacc.

As the Guardian notes, Katalyst describes the album as "a pretty dirty, heavy, kind of lo-fi hip-hop record." The recordings started with beats he posted to MySpace, which were available for anyone to download, rap over, and send in for consideration.
