“Dub Trio plays spacious reggae grooves spiked with high-adrenaline punk rock.” – NY Times
Dub Trio is back with their fourth and most powerful album to date – IV – an overwhelming blend of sounds, styles and ideas that come out swinging, and hit harder than ever. Can metal coexist with dub’s bass heavy riddims? Dub Trio’s newest album proves that not only can such incongruities coexist, but that in the right hands they flourish! With IV the band succeeds dramatically at emphasizing the theories, emotions, sounds, and concepts of their current musical exploration. IV finds the members playing multiple instruments, tweaking, turning & torturing knobs, cutting and chopping the audio itself, and shaping the compositions to create their own unique interpretation of ‘dub’ as an art form.
ROIR is proud to announce that we will be releasing Dub Trio’s fourth album, the appropriately titled “IV”, on Oct 25 in the US & Canada and on Oct 4 for the rest of the world. Since the band is going on tour very very soon, we’ve decided to make the CD/LP available now for pre-order at the ROIR website…
