Spirits Eat Music SunDub
"SPIRITS EAT MUSIC" is the title track from SunDub's album of the same name, and it serves as a mission statement for a project that pushed the Brooklyn collective's sound into deeper, more textured territory. The band — led by percussionist Bruno Blum — has always operated at the intersection of jazz, dub, and world music, and this track distills that fusion into its most concentrated form. The production is immersive, designed for deep listening rather than background play.
SunDub's position within the Easy Star catalog is unique — they're the label's most overtly jazz-influenced act, bringing an improvisational sensibility that connects more to Miles Davis than King Tubby, even as the dub influence permeates every mix choice. The band's music has attracted collaborations with Peetah Morgan (of Morgan Heritage), Lutan Fyah, and other Easy Star roster artists, creating cross-pollination that enriches both parties.
"SPIRITS EAT MUSIC" as a title suggests something mystical about the creative process — the idea that music has its own appetite, its own life force that consumes the spirits of those who make it. The track makes that concept feel tangible through a production that seems to breathe and pulse with organic life, rewarding each listen with details that weren't apparent the time before.
