Given that their new album opens with a guitar riff that could melt lead—a theme, incidentally, that extends throughout Another Sound Is Dying—you’d be forgiven for wondering what connects Brookyln’s Dub Trio to the nearly 40-year-old Jamaican style that makes up half their name. The answer, you’ll find, comes just minutes later, as the riffs, riddims and raw power at the core of Dub Trio’s sound get chopped apart, bounced across speaker channels and charged with subsonic frequencies.
From the dramatic, shoegaze-style post-metal of “Respite” and the straightforward roots-reggae nods in “Mortar Dub,” to the contrapuntal, lid-peeling violence of the closing track, “Funishment,” the album showcases Dub Trio’s chops and vocabulary as much as it finds them swinging, grooving and pummeling with wrecking-ball force.
“Dub Trio are very talented musicians that cover many different genres in each piece they play. They are doing something that very few artists are doing today, and doing it their own way.” – Mike Patton
