For fans of: Dub Reggae!
What they're saying: From a Joseph Gentile write-up at Bandcamp Daily: “The Return Of…, is about as reverent to the dub classics as it gets… Almost everything here calls back to its influences, while sounding remarkably fresh.” The Reggae Vibes blog notes the geographic roots of Puerto Rico native Pachyman’s sound: “Entirely self-produced, featuring Pachyman on vocals, guitar, drum, bass, and keyboards… this forceful, dubby instrumental album brings the listener a little bit San Juan, a little L.A., and a whole lot of Studio One in Kingston, Jamaica.” And from Alex Ruder at KEXP: “Pachyman creates transportive dub rhythms and nostalgia-tinted reggae gems.”
What we say: Yes, a dubbed out instrumental reggae LP recorded in 2021 that sounds great right next to the 70s classics of the genre!
