In a statement, Panda Bear expressed his affinity for spacious environments, such as desolate malls and winter beaches. These visually simple and uncluttered places, where the sound of crashing waves overpowers everything else, have always resonated with him. It’s no wonder that he has a fondness for the sound of dub. Panda Bear believes that traces of dub can be found in his entire body of work, although some tracks may bear its influence more prominently. When Sonic Boom (also known as Pete Kember) proposed the idea of inviting Adrian Sherwood to create dub versions of Reset tracks, Panda Bear was thrilled. As the dub mixes started to emerge, it became evident that Sherwood’s work went beyond traditional dub. Reset in Dub feels like a unique prism through which the original album is filtered, offering a recontextualized experience.
Adrian Sherwood, sharing his thoughts on this collaboration, views Reset in Dub as a complete reset of Reset itself. As a fan of Animal Collective and Spacemen 3, he was excited when the idea of working together was presented to him. Sherwood embraced the challenge and engaged in conversations about influences, classic records, mixing techniques, and devised a plan. The goal was to retain the trippy and fun elements of the original album while infusing it with added intensity, groove, and an active mix that would captivate enthusiasts. Sherwood is elated and proud of the outcome, and rightfully so.
If you’re eager to witness the musical prowess of Panda Bear and Sonic Boom, mark your calendars for their performance at Chicago’s Newsound Music Festival on Saturday, July 22. Tickets are currently available for purchase. Don’t miss out on this extraordinary opportunity!
