This came out in 1998 – or at least that’s when I got it. Here’s what I said about it back then (with some minor editing):
“The Dub Narcotic style’s back in!” boasts frontman Calvin Johnson on his Olympia, Wash., band’s second full-length CD. Of course, he’s talking through his hat. DNSS’s slippy, trippy style — a trashy party mix of Stax/Volt soul, basement funk jams and Johnson’s laconic, creaking croak — will never be stylish. Which, if you ask me, is a damn shame.
