tavie (feat. PAZOODOG)

This is the 23rd installment of the monthly single release series, and PAZOODOG, known for their free-spirited crossover approach to reggae and hip-hop, is making their third appearance. The theme is tavie (travel), and the song was completed by bringing together the inspiration each of them felt in different places. The irregularly played sanshin phrases are the core, and the fantastically spreading strings and scattered single sfx are the overtones. The bass line cuts heavily into the shuffled rhythm section of percussion and breakbeats. As each part is inserted and removed, the phase shifter and echo dub effects create space. With this sound as the foundation, PAZOODOG's lyric flow, which tells of his humorous travel experiences, and his outstanding songwriting skills make this a volume and rich content that you wouldn't expect for a total time of 3 and a half minutes. This song is full of originality, and is recommended for those who are not bound by genre or style, but who always look south and get intoxicated by the sound as a tendency of this song.
