Dub Narcotic Sound System - Degenerate Introduction

Degenerate Introduction by Dub Narcotic Sound System

3...according to our on Thu 14 Dec, 2006.

Dub Narcotic Sound System have a new CD of comedy percussive jams & bass/vox grumbling out now on the occasionally inspired K records of Olympia, WA. I really think that any given household should have at least one DNSS record but no more than that cause it's all a bit samey,  like. I said this last year but if you want a really amazing take on this kind of thing, get the absolutely wonderful Coco CD (also on K) instead! Sorry Calvin!

Degenerate Introduction is the much anticipated full-length album from Dub Narcotic Sound System. Drop the needle, pump it hardcore. An unsafe mix of radioactive garage soul sound sweeping the mining towns of the west; the subterranean dance floors of the east will recoil in anticipation. This is a 3-piece you just wont want to miss featuring old school hip hop stylings, electron beats and instrumental reggae influences, all with the Dub Narcotic Sound System stripped down. Calvin (vocals, guitar, melodica, percussion), co-founder of the fiercely influential punk band Beat Happening, continues to make exciting music with Chris Sutton (bass, drums, guitar, percussion, organ), who is also a member of Ks C.O.C.O; Heather Dunn (vocal, bass, sax, drums), alumni of Lois, Tiger Trap and current member of the No Nos and Liarbird is the secret ingredient. Recorded at Dub Narcotic Studios in Olympia, WA by Adam Forkner of Yume Bitsu and Version fame. Forkner also makes a guest appearance, playing keyboards on "Fuck Me Up". Classic Dub style shines through on tracks Sounds Narcotic, Joint Joint and Dub Narcotic Groove. Fuck Me Up features vocal stylings of Heather Dunn as a follow-up to her debut Sabley Goodness. Code of the West features old-school Dub style reminiscent of Augustus Pablo. Johnson yelps and howls over the funkiest of bass lines in I Dont Love. Blood Flow is DNSSs subtle call for us all to remain politically active. 9 Songs: Sounds Narcotic (Smash the Record), Joint Joint, Fuck Me Up, Code of the West, I Dont Love, Blood Flow, Mates Revenge, Dub Narcotic Groove, Sounds Narcotic (Pt. 2)
