Library Science is a great name—like dub itself, it sounds
soulful and geeky at the same time. This Seattle trio plays a
poppier, more electronic version of that slow, low Jamaican music.
Occasional vocals ground the songs and luscious reverb bounces
them back into dark, gaping chasms. Sometimes they sound like
orchestral pop, with regal horn lines flapping like standards as
a guitar rocks and a shuffling breakbeat rolls. (Rendezvous, 2322
