An Dannsa Dub navigate spirit and resistance on new album 'Through The Storm'

If music could conjure weather, 'Through The Storm' would be gale-force. An Dannsa Dub’s second album is an expansion of their signature fusion, bringing together more of those genre-bending theatrics they are known for. Crafted amidst Atlantic winds and the emotional unrest of a fractured world, this is music born of landscape and lifeblood, channelling the energy of ancestral memory into low-end thunder and shimmering tradition.

Building on the foundation of their debut, the Scottish ensemble have upped the intensity without losing the grace. There’s a rawness here, a spiritual combustion that takes their hybrid of dub and Gaelic folk into newly charged territory. With the legendary Gaudi on co-production duties, each track feels engineered to move bodies and stir something more ancient and urgent.

The instrumentation is dense but never crowded. You can almost hear the highland rain, the stomp of feet on wet earth, and the stillness between lightning strikes as it plays. It’s that sense of ritual between the past and the present that gives the album its gravity.

An Dannsa Dub have crafted standing stone that stands tall and firm within their catalogue to date. And in a time of cultural drift and climate unease, it’s a rallying cry disguised as a dancefloor sermon.
