“The Dub7 E.P.” is a three-track prequel to an upcoming full-length release from reggae rock outfit 27 Lights. All three tracks feature the calculated upstrokes of the traditional reggae sound, though there are clear alternative and psychedelic elements within these songs. One aspect of their sound that makes 27 Lights stand out is their ability to disperse jam sessions throughout the EP that are fresh, listenable, and danceable. The reggae inspired vocal performance, combined with the arrangements, sound similar to Bob Marley, Incubus, and RX Bandits. The production quality of “The Dub7 E.P.” is perfect for this type of recording. It's not too overproduced and focuses on the natural rawness of their sound. “Flat a Dub” begins with a seventy-five second reggae-inspired jam then introduces 27 Lights’ vocalist with the repetitive line, “Where did you go.” “India” has some great rhyming verses and a sound you can’t help but dance to. “Pakalolo” has a psychedelic bass opening, some more great rhymes, and nice solo guitar work. “The Dub7 E.P.” certainly wets the appetite for things to come from 27 Lights with its three original and memorable tracks. Fans of reggae rock, give this EP a listen.
