Unusual Times

Dubbest round all bases in full circle influence in their early roots reggae-inspired Color Red debut single “Unusual Times.” Featuring longtime influence, Elliot Martin of John Brown’s Body on vocals, the track was originally composed in 2013 based on a concept that the world is changing at a rapid rate when it comes to technology, social grace, and the dichotomy between input and output that can be simultaneously exciting and confusing. The band calls for listeners to examine the big picture and consider the impact that this make-or-break opportunity can impart on this era in society. Using just two chords to convey the message and dynamics, Dubbest revisited the tune during the pandemic and brought it to life in the studio. The sentiment makes more sense than ever as these are indeed unusual times that we’re living in.
