Dreadland is an instrumental roots reggae album and is the culmination of two years of work, where the tracks evolved and were then re-engineered/mixed to utilize a new/revised Alien Dread studio set-up in late 2021. The album eventually came together in the fall of 2021. Alvin Davis is a talented multi-instrumentalist; specializing chiefly in saxophone, trumpet, trombone, flute, etc., Alvin has worked with Alien Dread for many years and has contributed to virtually all Alien Dread projects. The album tracks were inspired by traditional Jamaican roots reggae and skillfully produced by Alien Dread with assistance from ISR (long time co-producer). The other players involved are Asha B, who has worked with AD for several years ref Congos, percussion, etc.; and Steven "Marley" Wright, who supplied rhythm and lead guitar.
