Songs from Horror are pulled apart and reshaped into a drifting dub landscape. Basslines stretch and dissolve, rhythms echo into open space and tracks are dismantled and reassembled into versions that drift, jar and unravel. Working with Maimone, the album treats dub as subtraction, space and echo rather than simple revision, revealing hidden textures and new emotional weight within the original recordings.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe partnership has deep roots. Mekons first toured with Pere Ubu in 1988 and later worked closely with Maimone in the early 1990s. That shared history informs the exploratory spirit of Horrorble, reframing the urgency of Horror through atmosphere, rhythm and sonic deconstruction. Featuring a guest appearance from Benji Webbe of Skindred on \"Mudcrawlers\", the album transforms familiar material into immersive, echo-laden soundscapes that emphasise tension and depth. The original Horror confronted climate catastrophe, economic violence and political decay through rock and roll, punk and melody. Horrorble reveals it's shadow counterpart. Formed in Leeds in the late 1970s, Mekons have always operated as a collective, working outside trends and expectations. Guided by the belief that the political and personal remain inseparable, they continue to create on their own terms, combining experimentation with a call to organise and resist.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003col\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBefore the Ice Age (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSad and Sad and Sad (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eWar Economy (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eA Horse Has Escaped (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThe Western Design (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eGlasgow (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eYou're Not Singing Anymore (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePrivate Defense Contractor (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSanctuary (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSurrender (Version)\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMudcrawlers Ft.
