About Pachyman
Pachyman is Pachy García, who grew up in Puerto Rico and later settled in Los Angeles, where he played drums and sang in the garage-punk trio Prettiest Eyes. As Pachyman he writes, plays and records everything himself, working in the instrumental tradition of 1970s Jamaican dub: heavy bass lines, rimshot drums, organ stabs and long echo trails that drop parts in and out of the mix.
His records, released through ATO, stay mostly instrumental and lean on vintage equipment rather than software, so the effects sit audibly in the room. Live, the solo studio arrangements are expanded with a backing band.
