Fractured Broken and Beautiful by Dubh
Dubh (pronounced "duv") is Irish for black (and a bit dubby). It's also the guise for Ikon's own Jonny McEwan who has recorded his first solo album Fractured Broken and Beautiful. You couldn't get a more honest title - it sums up the music perfectly. Made on a laptop, a couple of synths, a kaos pad and samples this instrumental electronica is dubbed out, trippy, warm, mellow, chilled, gorgeous, ambient, almost dub step in places. It's hard to know what to compare it to. It's a very unique sound with a real edge, an instant proost favourite!
Somewhat confusingly the title of Ikon's album was Dubh, but this time round the artist is Dubh!! And just to confuse you a little more we also have an album coming out on proost shortly by Dubb :-)
There is a Dubh facebook group you can join and listen to a few tracks online. Go say hi to Jonny and become a fan!
