Over the years, Lanois has carved out a reputation as a sonic iconoclast, skilled in conjuring up deep, ethereal, almost 3-D soundscapes. Two trademark Lanois instrumentals Slow Baby and Sirens round out the album. The eleven tracks on the album include the single I Believe In You, (click to listen) the bluesy, sexy Surely and the beautiful gospel-like Caanan. Lanois recently told Rolling Stone magazine "I had been fantasizing about putting a band together for a long time that would allow me to write music with a funkier angle." The music is accompanied by a series of live off the floor videos that Black Dub has been posting on their new website (click to watch a performance of the single I Believe In You ). The band features Lanois on guitar, New Orleans virtuoso Brian Blade, who has performed with such jazz titans as Wayne Shorter and Herbie Hancock, on drums, the impassioned vocals of Belgian born Trixie Whitley, the beautiful 22-year-old daughter of the late, great Texas bluesman, Chris Whitley and rounding out the quartet is famed Louisiana bass player Daryl Johnson.īlack Dub recorded the album in Los Angeles with a focus on live sessions often done in one take. Black Dub is a distinctive, rock-edged album featuring an outstanding level of musicianship and a soulful, symphonic commentary informed by Jamaican dub culture. Los Angeles, CA Black Dub, a powerful new group led by celebrated guitarist and producer Daniel Lanois, will release their debut Jive album on November 2.
