Guillotine

“Guillotine” delivers a hard-driving, sinister sound powered by a pounding beat. Death by Dub’s fourth release is a nod to Elliot Martin and John Brown’s Body. Martin is both a mentor and musical colleague of the group and they sought to channel his writing style as they went into the session. Scott Flynn and Drew Sayers sync up to deliver assured horn lines that levitate over the pocket of Dan Africano (bass) and Jonny Jyemo (drums). Eric Luba (keys) and Ryan Jalbert (guitar) accentuate the dub with an unapologetic sense of rhythm to round out the salute to one of the most prominent figures in modern reggae music.
