Thor Harris - Doom Dub II (Joyful Noise)

What Your Ears Say & The Cover Looks LIke

What We Say

Idiosyncratic dub deviance emanating from Joyful Noise courtesy of Thor Harris and an intriguing collective of fellow musical trippers, as they  put their shoulders into the dub continuum & nudge it decidedly left-field, whilst tipping their hats appreciatively to the 70s Jamaican pioneers who made it all possible. Right, now I'm off to find volume I.

What The Release Notes SAy

What is Doom Dub? 

The beginning of Doom Dub started like this. 

I have a machine called the Kaossillator. On this machine, if you write a drum machine pattern and then slow it way down, it pixelates all the beats so that they sound really fucked up. 

Almost every music geek and musician loves late 70s Dub. This made it easy for me to involve many of my friends in the making of this record. This zine is full of their faces. If you tell anyone you need help making a Dub record, they will beg to be part of it. 

It's possible that Dub is humanity’s greatest achievement. 

Gods like King Tubby and Lee Scratch Perry will once again walk the earth as today’s tyrants decay under their feet. "The Space Echo" will be the most holy object. Along with maybe the melodica or timbales. 

It is my hope that this record will bring you even half as much joy in listening as it brought us in making it. This is my humble homage to the original practitioners of the form. Dub. 

Your servant, 
Thor

Lyrics: 

"Day 7 of Quarantine" 
Another kind of conquest. 
Began very very sloooooooowly. 
Very Very Sloooooooooooooowly. 
Will they endure? 
Will they endure? 
Will they endure? 
These "paint people" 
The transmission was watered down. 
English translation was watered down. 
It was watered down. 
Left to pray in the church. 
Will they endure ? x 3 
Another kind of conquest began very very very Slooowly 
Slooooooowly 
Very. 
Very. 
Life has changed. 
Life has changed. 
Life has changed. 
Life. Changed. 
Life isn't supposed to be. 
isn't supposed to be. 
Life isn't supposed to. 
isn't. 
life. 
Life isn't supposed to be silence x 2 
silence. 
it was another kind of conquest. 
Will they endure? 
Will they endure silence? 
silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. silence. 



"Day 447 of Quarantine" 

Christ don’t generate a feeling 
A road that I am wary to take 
Christ don’t take away my weeping 
A road that I am wary to take 
Christ leaked down from the ceiling 
A road that I am wary to take 
Light broke my body into pieces 
The road that I was wary to take 
  
Shall I be a wound for you? 
  
Shall I leave the tomb for you? 
  
Shall I clear the room for you? 
  
Shall I be a star?
