Peddaba

Psychedelic-calypso-dub describes aspects of Peddaba’s sound universe where jangly light-weight guitars, stumbling bass, offbeat delay-synths and lifted drum-snares meet up. This charming oddball of music gives rise to moving your hips, while maintaining a decent amount of noise to get lost in. While inspired by latin rhythms and sounds, the soundscape can be drone-like with gradual buildups. Faroese music project Peddaba started by Rasmus á Fríðriksmørk Borðoy intends to make instrumental music in the universe of psychedelic-guitar music, inspired by artists like Khruangbin, Gitkin and Hermanos Gutiérrez, while still having roots in dub-reggae and caribbean-calypso. The guitar often carries the melodies, and the drums have a characteristic lift on the snare stemming from a meetup between calypso-rhythms and originating from high north, the Faroe Islands, as Peddaba does.
