Storm Is Coming Riddim – Pickout Records

Milton Blake’s “Nuclear Age” is the anchor on Storm Is Coming Riddim, and he leans into a stern roots vocal that the Pickout crew frames with a dubwise edge rather than polished radio gloss. Across the six cuts, Lloyd “Pickout” Dennis keeps the focus tight: Blake gets a rub-a-dub rework and a heavy dub treatment, while Jr Blessington’s “Flaws” brings a more reflective tone before the band strips it back to version form. That connection to the old Junior Delgado “Storm Is Coming” name gives the project a nice lineage feel, but Pickout doesn’t overplay the reference; the riddim stays practical, heavy, and singer-friendly. It sits comfortably in the label’s run of roots-leaning releases, the kind that favour live-feeling band dubs and alternate mixes over big studio shine.
