fresh from touring with the specials, the mightiest ska-soul-dub revue outfit in the uk, pama international, hits the decks running with a new limited 7" that raises expectations for their pama outernational album, due later in the year.
the lead track, happenstance, is a fantastic hook heavy dubbed up, horn heavy skank that will surely be the perfect soundtrack to any festival/bbq party.
the flip side is a big old dub version, dub-a-dance, that i have yet to hear, but having seen the band live twice and experienced the full on bass bliss, i can well imagine the dub to be of an necessity should the sun continues to shine..
happenstance is the first in a series of 7" singles that the band are to release over the coming months. so, like pokemon, if you’re a fan, you gotta catch’em all.
red vinyl. 300 copies only.
highly recommended.
