Listen: Bombay Bicycle Club Unveil Reggae Version of ‘Lights Out, Words Gone’
The ‘Rub A Dub’ version of the album track will be released as part of a new EP in January.

Bombay Bicycle Club have unveiled a ‘Rub A Dub’ reggae version of their song ‘Lights Out, Words Gone’.
The track - which appears in its original form on the band’s latest album ‘A Different Kind Of Fix’ - will be released as part of the ‘Leave It’ EP on 1 January through Island Records.
Guitarist Jamie McColl told the NME that the original plan was to get a reggae band to cover the song, but they eventually decided to take on the task themselves.
As well as releasing a new EP in 2012, the four-piece are also heading out on a UK tour in April. Dates can be found underneath the stream for the reggae version of ‘Lights Out, Words Gone’ below.
