Mekons - Horrorble - Mekons Vs Tony Maimone In Dub - Music CD

Horrorble is a full-length dub reinterpretation of Mekons' acclaimed 2025 album Horror, created in collaboration with Tony Maimone (Pere Ubu). Songs from Horror are pulled apart and reshaped into a drifting dub landscape. Basslines stretch and dissolve, rhythms echo into open space and tracks are dismantled and reassembled into versions that drift, jar and unravel. Working with Maimone, the album treats dub as subtraction, space and echo rather than simple revision, revealing hidden textures and new emotional weight within the original recordings.The partnership has deep roots. Mekons first toured with Pere Ubu in 1988 and later worked closely with Maimone in the early 1990s. That shared history informs the exploratory spirit of Horrorble, reframing the urgency of Horror through atmosphere, rhythm and sonic deconstruction.Featuring a guest appearance from Benji Webbe of Skindred on "Mudcrawlers", the album transforms familiar material into immersive, echo-laden soundscapes that emphasise tension and depth.The original Horror confronted climate catastrophe, economic violence and political decay through rock and roll, punk and melody. Horrorble reveals it's shadow counterpart. Formed in Leeds in the late 1970s, Mekons have always operated as a collective, working outside trends and expectations. Guided by the belief that the political and personal remain inseparable, they continue to create on their own terms, combining experimentation with a call to organise and resist.
