We’re stoked to announce that we’re once again working with one of our favorite bands, Dub Trio to release our fourth album with them, “IV”.
The album comes out on CD, MP3 & LP on October 25 and it’s the dub/metal band’s first studio album in three years since he boys have been keeping busy acting as the touring band for Mike Patton’s Peeping Tom and Matisyahu.
Bassist Stu Brooks says of the album:
“IV was recorded after touring for 2 and a half years with Mike Patton promoting our last album Another Sound Is Dying… It had been the longest duration of time in between releases. By the time we hit the studio, we were extremely hungry to put down the ideas. Most of the record was written while we were on the road. One of the most memorable and prolific sessions was in a small commune town in Brittany, France. One church, one bakery, and a cafe.”
Drummer Joe Tomino adds:
“When listening to IV you can hear that ‘dub’, as a concept and less as a genre synonymous to reggae, is at the core of the music, and while listening you’ll hear everything from metal to dubstep….there’s even a prepared piano track… As always, we aspire to create a visceral experience for the listener, and IV is no exception.”
Dub Trio will be touring in Europe and North America in October & November… stay tuned for tour dates!
Our boys Dub Trio backed Matisyahu for 2 shows at the recent Vancouver Winter Olympics. If you weren’t lucky enough to make it to Van City, check out this vid to get in on the action. They even open it with some Dub Trio jams!
Dub Trio are backing Matisyahu in Australia and South America next month (lucky them!) Tour dates on their Myspace.
