New Dudes on Drugs Record after 36 Year Hiatus

1982 DoD sessions: The poet contemplates.

"Cabaret Rustique", the "new" album from Dudes on Drugs is available now!

Culled from the original 1982 recording sessions, an album of entirely new material has been assembled from recently discovered "lost" tapes. Unlike the original DoD release, this one more truly captures the atmosphere of the original sessions, with less studio gimmickry added.

Some News for Late 2018 and Early 2019

Hello! It's been a long time since anyone here at Sublamental has made much noise, musically or otherwise. I don't think I need to bore you with details of how we all grapple with the strange world we live in. This we all do in our own way. Suffice to say we've all been too busy to think about music, and that aint good!

So, in the spirit of getting back on track, I'd like to tell you about some new releases coming up in the near future. (Also I am providing some visual entertainment in the form of a photograph of Sun Ra, just because. You're welcome.)

Note on Black music

“Black music was a Black response to being terrorized and traumatized. We’re going to share and spread some soothing sweetness against the backdrop of the dark catastrophe. That’s Black music.”

Cornel West, Chasing Trane: The John Coltrane Documentary (2016)

About Social Media

We believe, as do many others, that social media is directly responsible for a lot that is wrong with the world today. What started life as well-intentioned social tools have now become the largest and most successful propaganda machines the world has ever known. These platforms have enabled and powered the crumbling of democracy and the disintegration of morality, human decency and critical thought. They have plunged our world into a sickness far worse than Covid-19. As our response, Sublamental has abandoned our Instagram account and will only post news of new releases on Facebook and Twitter. Nothing else. We will not engage in conversations on these platforms. If you wish to speak to us use the Contact form and/or subscribe to our newsletter. Stay safe (in all ways).

Experience Better Sound!

If you like some of the music here, we hope that you will purchase our releases at Bandcamp and download the high-quality FLAC or WAV versions. We accept that today it is perhaps more convenient to stream music rather than bother with files, but at the end of the day streaming just sounds inferior to the uncompressed masters. Many of the subtle nuances that artists work hard to get into their music are lost in the compression process that produces MP3 and AAC files. So if you care about both sound quality and hearing a more accurate representation of the artist's intentions, we urge you to invest a very reasonable amount of money and do your ears (and us) a favour!
