Dab City is the sixth studio album by the Wisconsin sludge metal band Bongzilla. The follow-up to 2021's Weedsconsin, Dab City is recorded entirely on tape at Future Apple Tree Studios. With promotional singles for "Hippie Stick" and "C.A.R.T.S.", Dab City would be released on 2 June 2023 via Heavy Psych Sounds.[1]
Notably, it's the first Bongzilla release to feature Dave Collins since 2005's Amerijuanican, appearing as a guest on "Cannonbongs". The full title of that song is "Cannonbongs (The Ballad of Burnt Reynolds as Lamented by Gentleman Dixie Dave Collins)".
Dab City garnered mostly positive reviews.[2][3][4][5][6]
Press Release[]
Dab City is an ode to the purest form of THC and our beloved hometown of Madison Wisconsin, which is known as Mad City. A political and social hot bed and lightning rod for our state and the Midwest since the 1960's, Madison is also home to a large University with one of the best agronomy departments in the country and not surprisingly the focal point for some of the finest cannabis our country has to offer(Muleboy has not seen pot with seeds in it since arriving in 1993!)Although not legal, possession is basically ignored and punished with a nominal $1 fine for under 128 grams.
For the recording of dab City we procured 10 g plus of the finest concentrates we could lay our hands on and somewhere north of 120 g of cannabis flower. And recorded it on 2-in analog tape over two sessions at Future apple tree Studio in Rock Island Illinois. Fall 2022 session is known as the Harvest Sessions and the February of 2023 session is known as the Propagation Sessions. The record is our 2nd as a three piece and our second full length release for our label Heavy Psych Sounds and continues our journey into ultra stoned sludgey psychedelia.
Dab City is 100% recorded on Tape, and is composed by 7 songs with a running time of almost 60 minutes of brand new Stoned Sludge Heavy Doomy Riffs.
