Sounds Narcotic (Smash the Record) • Joint Joint • Fuck Me Up • Code of the West • I Don't Love • Blood Flow • Mate's revenge • Dub Narcotic Groove • Sounds Narcotic (Pt 2) Degenerate Introduction is the first and much anticipated full-length album from Dub Narcotic Sound System since their 1998 release Out of Your Mind (KLP083). Drop a needle, pump it hardcore. An insane mix of radioactive rock sound set to detonate in your ears, and dance beats that will blow your mind. This is a 3-piece you just won’t want to miss featuring old school rock, hip hop styling, electron beats and instrumental reggae influences, all with the Dub Narcotic Sound System stripped down style. Calvin (vocals, guitar, melodica, percussion), co-founder of the fiercely influential punk band , continues to make new and exciting music with Chris Sutton (bass, drums, guitar, percus- sion, organ), who is also a member of K’s C.O.C.O.; and Heather Dunn (vocal, bass, sax, drums), alum- ni of Lois, and current member of the No No’s and Liarbird. Recorded at Dub Narcotic Studios in Olympia, WA by Adam Forkner of Yume Bitsu and (((VVRSSNN))) fame. Forkner also makes a guest appearance on one song. 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 Don’t Love.” “Blood Flow” is DNSS’s subtle call for us all to remain politically active. “Party people in the place get hype—K Records is serving up another disco plate piled high with well-seasoned elbow groove-a-roni. In his tireless quest to provide the perfect soundtrack to social gatherings of all kinds, legend Calvin Johnson has assembled a crack band of musical mis- fits known as the Dub Narcotic Sound System.” Pitchforkmedia.com
