Displacing The Priest is Nitin Sawhney's second record for Outcaste, and it's an ambitious, complex project - a personal reflection upon spirituality and organised religion, the gulf that can sometimes exist between the two. At its heart, a series of compositions illustrate and illuminate the British Asian search for the self, the reaching out for identity common to all generations born of an immigrant race, and the religious road map which so often shapes that journey. Displacing The Priest is about discarding this map and relying on instincts: turning away form the ready-made answers of organised religion and its self-proclaimed rule-makers, and finding a personal spirituality elsewhere.

The album uses a myriad of influences from Latin rhythms of Paco Pena, JC001's human beatbox, the drum and bass of Badmarsh, to the wonderfully emotional vocals of Calcutta-based vocalist, Jayanta Bose. Whilst truly capturing the essence of Migration, here, Sawhney expands his horizons and weaves an extraordinary new musical web. Migration was a first. This work highlights that Nitin Sawhney is one of the finest talents within the arena of new British music. 'Music that stimulates both the physical and the cerebral" - Q Magazine
