PRE-SAVE JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD MEETS BLANC DU BLANC: MAGICK SONGS IN DUB Hailed by Pitchfork for “completely blowing up any pre-existing notions you may have had of JEFF The Brotherhood or their music…an album that thoroughly deconstructs the idea of what a proper rock band should sound like,” Magick Songs saw JEFF The Brotherhood pushing the boundaries of their fearless brand of genre-smashing rock, fusing heavy riffs with elements of Krautrock, jazz, black metal, experimental improvisation, and more.
JEFF The Brotherhood Meets Blanc du Blanc: Magick Songs In Dub now finds the band diving headfirst into hitherto unexplored sonic territory, journeying into the deep, resonant chambers of dub with the guiding hand of spectral sound alchemist Blanc du Blanc. While traces of dub have flickered through their earlier work, this time JEFF The Brotherhood fully surrender to the echo, reframing familiar sonics with astral frequency-shaping and deep-space vibrations. Captured directly to stereo at Soul Selects Studio in Hopewell, NJ, the live, unadulterated dub mixes channel the ancient art of analog delay, seismic bass, and swirling reverberations to reimagine Magick Songs as a cosmic dialogue between JEFF The Brotherhood and Blanc du Blanc — an otherworldly musical interchange where echoes bend, basslines breathe, and the lines between structure and improvisation fold into themselves like ripples in space and time.
# # # ABOUT JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD: JEFF The Brotherhood is an art project whose inception dates back to an unassuming basement in Nashville in 2002, where brothers Jake and Jamin Orrall began experimenting with one goal in mind: to do or create whatever they want with no rules or boundaries. Since then, JEFF The Brotherhood’s expansive art has taken them to Hawaii, New Zealand, and Russia, spanning over a thousand live performances and the creation of countless art objects in conjunction with music, including zines, puppets, videos, and twelve full-length albums, earning them countless accolades from the international music press. Written and recorded by the band over six months at Jake Orrall’s house in Nashville, 2018’s sprawling Magick Songs marked a determined departure from their already adventurous previous work, melding clever improvisation with elements of Japanese experimental music, Indonesian Gamelan forms, abundant hand percussion, and ethereal synthesizers. Many of the compositions were written in collaboration with Kunal Prakash (Silver Synthetic, Viva L’American Death Ray Music) and Jack Lawrence (The Raconteurs, The Dead Weather), and feature a host of collaborators, including vocals by Jenna Moynihan (Daddy Issues, Fever Blush) and saxophone and clarinet by Reece Lazarus (Bully).
ABOUT BLANC DU BLANC: Blanc du Blanc is a spectral dub entity transmitting from the outer reaches of sound. Born of the star Melodious, he traverses cosmic frequencies and echo trails, merging deep basslines, psychedelic textures, and ancient vibrations into transmissions that feel out of time and space. Rooted in dub’s experimental lineage, Blanc du Blanc has collaborated with icons like Lee “Scratch” Perry and Scientist, connecting the genre’s foundations to its farthest frontiers. His recordings weave live instrumentation from a constellation of players, including Dana Colley (Morphine) and Joe Russo (JRAD), with spectral studio alchemy. In 2025, Blanc du Blanc joined Scientist for Before the Beginning and reimagined JEFF the Brotherhood’s Magick Songs in Dub through his otherworldly prism. Created by multi-disciplinary artist Chris Harford, Blanc du Blanc exists less as a musician and more as a sonic apparition, an art project blurring the lines between myth, music, and the dub cosmos. # # # JEFF THE BROTHERHOOD MEETS BLANC DU BLANC: MAGICK SONGS IN DUB (Soul Select Records) Release Date: Friday, October 31, 2025 |
