If ever an album deserved to be called elemental, 'Through The Storm' by An Dannsa Dub would be it. Forged during literal gales off the coast of the Isle of Lewis and steeped in the tension of our turbulent modern world, this record is a statement of purpose. Fusing Gaelic roots with the deep pulse of dub, the Scottish collective continue their enigmatic journey into uncharted terrain.


While their debut turned heads for its daring blend of fiddle-led melodies and echo-laden soundscapes, 'Through The Storm' arrives bolder, deeper, and more spiritually resonant than ever. Co-produced by the legendary Gaudi, the album captures the essence of place, people, and protest.


The instrumentation is equally compelling. Fiddle and whistle weave through heavyweight basslines and reverb-soaked rhythms. The interplay between the dub rhythm section and traditional ornamentation creates a rich tapestry that’s both deeply rooted and entirely forward-looking.


What truly sets 'Through The Storm' apart is its emotional range. There’s fury and sorrow, but also clarity and solidarity. It’s a soundtrack for a generation confronting climate anxiety, political disillusionment, and cultural fragmentation, while dancing through it all.


An Dannsa Dub have built spaces for connection between history and innovation here. With 'Through The Storm', they’ve found their footing and they’re standing tall, ready for whatever comes next.
