PACHYMAN / SWITCHED-ON / While conceptualizing Switched-On, Pachyman gravitated to Lovers Rock-era reggae and the iconic Studio One. Yet the album also pays homage to the era where musicians began manipulating synthesizers for gloriously off-kilter bleeps and bloops. His evolution emerges on "You Looked at Me," fusing a Krautrock-esque beat with synths reminiscent of Boards of Canada. Pachy's sound further expands on "Trago Coqueto," a cheeky love song crooned through a cocktail's prism and an ode to his Puerto Rican roots.
