Some music is just plain cheerful, happy, without pretensions. Papa Michigan and General Smiley deliver a reggae-dub-pop hybrid that will make you smile. Downpression oozes with the sweltering heat of anything mastered by the Scientist himself, and drips with unworried joy. Recommended if you live in the Caribbean, would like to live there, or want to switch your brain off and smile for a bit.
