Exploring The Dangers Of:Dub Trio

Title: Exploring the Dangers of the Dub Trio

Label: ROIR

Genre: dub

Rating: 5.8 of 7

For the most part, you can distinguish a band’s particular sound by their name; and with a name like Dub Trio, the NYC band does more than just leave you with a hint. This three-piece creates solid dub (effects-ridden, instrumental reggae) with the help of little post-production and overdubs (save keyboards and melodica). Concentrating on their live sound, the Dub Trio infuses elements of jazz, math rock and electronica into the already established dub vibe. They also do a good job of not letting the listener drift away as the album progresses. Exploring the Dangers of explores the possibilities and depth of dub music without becoming redundant as a lot of dub albums can. They progress while still staying true to the roots of the style.
