To longtime followers of Portland's always stellar Ten Dollar Recording Co, it's no secret that one of the label's most notable and long running sounding boards is a steadfast in-house appreciation of seismically deep, experimental dub. And to wit, no one is blowing more smoke (metaphorical and otherwise) onto those vinyl grooves than resident TDRCo soundscapist Prince Joely. Back at it with soon-to-be-released full length Dog Water, Joely is in top form on an album that smokes and smolders its way from one multipolar musical conflagration to the next, while yet maintaining a graceful, playful fluidity throughout. Always hewing close to the genre's gyrating home base of groove, Dog Water, and Joely's output in general, manages to avoid dub's more unfortunate (and numerous) forays into the smoked out, hacky sack landscape of cliche tropes that define so many other releases.
