Ryan Spencer and Adam Pressley, doing a brisk business under the Jamaican Queens banner, are the poster children for making lemonade from lemons. Late in 2011, producer/artist Pressley moved to Detroit with the intention of joining Spencer’s group Prussia, which disbanded before Pressley could unpack his luggage. Undeterred, the pair decided against resurrecting the band and chose instead to pursue a home-recording path, dubbing their newly minted arrangement Jamaican Queens and collaborating on their debut album, 2013’s acclaimed and brashly entertaining Wormfood.
Forget about next week, Jamaican Queens is the future of right now.
