Today, Pachyman — the musical project of Puerto Rican-born, Los Angeles-based musician Pachy Garcia — shares the warm and wobbling “In Love,” the latest single from Another Place (May 23 / ATO Records). On “In Love,” Pachy’s signature dub sound is imbued with a joyful, egg-melting-on-the-sidewalk haze in the vein of Washed Out or Neon Indian. It’s a canny sonic link-up, emblematic of the adventurous, recombinant sounds that populate the new album.

The VHS-warped video is not only a suitable accompaniment to the track’s vibe, but an introduction to a new quartet lineup that Pachyman will be introducing on upcoming Europe / UK tour dates: Pachy on drums and vocals, Javier Perez on guitar, Jordan Brooks on bass, and Diego Gaeta on keys.

Another Place is Pachyman’s most daring project to-date, one that builds upon its forebears by leaning into the idiosyncratic elements lurking beneath previous projects. In doing so, it synthesizes the myriad scenes that have recontextualized the methods and aesthetics of dub — from pioneering synth-pop weirdos like William Onyeabor and Yellow Magic Orchestra to Basic Channel’s amniotic dub techno — into a sound that, while still anchored in dub reggae’s glorious walls of sound, is undeniably Pachyman’s own.

“In Love” follows lead single “Hard To Part,” a skeletal drone workout that doubles as “a funky dub reggae love letter to Los Angeles” (Remezcla). KCRW called it “funky-spooky-cool” and put it at #2 on their Top 30 chart, adding: “ESG fans, take note.”

“Pachyman is a bucket,” Treble marveled. “It makes no difference if he’s grinding out that thick-smoke, Lee Perry type o’ scratch, or this new fascination that seems to be cowbell, one-note guitar riff, and the complete understanding that minimalism is not just reserved for ’90s Detroit techno.”

Pachyman is preparing to take the alchemical, indelible sound of Another Place around the world. He just wrapped shows in New Zealand and Australia, and he’ll also be joining Darkside for select North American dates this spring.

Ahead of his imminent Europe and UK tour, Pachyman was also just announced as part of Indieplaza, a Record Store Day Festival to be held on the Rockefeller Center Plaza on Saturday, April 12. Other performers include The Hives, Scowl, Clipping., and Lifeguard — more details in poster below.

Full dates below — keep an eye out for more to be announced later this year.
