For former John Brown’s Body bassist David Solid Gould, mingling the spiritual and the secular isn’t novelty—it’s become a crucial part of his aesthetic. With The Temple Rockers, he blends reggae grooves with lyrics from traditional Jewish songs—a combo that seems bizarre on paper but feels surprisingly cohesive on record. After tackling Passover songs on their last two LPs, the nine-piece band—featuring past and present members of John Brown’s Body, 10 Ft. Ganja Plant and Big Mean Sound Machine—ventures into Hanukkah with Festival of Lights , recruiting reggae veterans like Linval Thompson and Wayne Jarrett for horn-heavy jams about lighting the menorah (“Days Long Ago”) and embracing a godly glow (“Almighty Light”). With its dubby bass and spacey wah-wah guitars, it’s certainly that rare holiday album that you’ll want to blaze up to.
