Horace Andy - Dance Hall Style LP
SKU: WACKIES1383
Description:
US import!
In 1982 Horace Andy temporarily relocated to New York City to
record with Lloyd “Bullwackie” Barnes, an expatriate Jamaican who
ran a studio and label operation out of the Bronx. Andy was in many
ways the perfect match for Bullwackie’s vision of wintry dub. These
aren’t cute reggae songs, and unlike some of Andy’s most
experimental ‘70s dubs, they aren’t even intended for the
dancehall. There are only six songs here, but each is extremely
long, letting listeners get lost in the mood, which evokes
late-night subway rides and trash-barrel fires. Andy has a voice
that seems to not fully belong to a human body. Instead, it
manifests between the elements of an environment, which is why he
was perfect for Bullwackie. The rhythm tracks portray the
expatriate’s lonely cityscape: cold New York City, worlds away from
sunny Jamaica. In the songs’ scenarios, Andy isn’t so much a
vocalist as he is the steam a voice creates when breathed into icy
night air.
