My album of the day. Like a year and a half ago my friend Sophia put me onto Meth Math's song Perreando y Llorando (it means twerking and crying), and I was hooked. The deconstructed club/reggaeton felt so unique in a swanky and hypnotic way, the track had a hold on me. So I was kind of taken aback listening to their newest project Chupetones that released today, as it's much more constructed. These songs aren't here to lure you in slowly, these are for the people tired of twerking and crying in the corner, ready to hit the floor with something to prove. Which is just as beautiful in its own way. Mantis, Myspace, and Cyberia were my favorite tracks
Been having a lot of fun with Bad Bunny’s latest passion project, so here’s a breakdown of my favourites.
NUEVAYoL - an album that opens with a banger is always a great sign. Showcases perfectly the Latin/pop vibes you’ll find on the rest of the album
BAILE INoLVIDABLE - starts unsuspecting, and then it kidnaps you into a ballroom, forces you to salsa, and finally slaps you with the best piano solo (I dare you to listen to it and not make a stank face)
TURiSTA - I’m just a sucker for a good ballad on the guitar
CAFé CON RON - I wouldn’t mind having this as my morning alarm, Los Pleneros de la Cresta are so much fun
LO QUE SE PASÓ A HAWAii - everything you’ll need for your hispanic vilan era
DtMF - are you in love? I’m in love
LA MuDANZA - if you aren’t dancing yet, you better now
I have been trying to find new artists that have a similar vibe to one of my favorite bands, The Marias. I came across Bratty and honesty have been obsessed with their latest Tres album. Its the perfect album when you're having a lot of conflicting emotions and always is a comfort listen for me. The indie alternative scene in Mexico is definitely something to be looking forward to. Let me know what you guys think :)
the best album i’ve heard in recent memory. what an incredibly chaotic, nostalgic, blown out, thunderfuck of a record.
carried me through a rapturous heartbreak.
riyl: cumbia, arca, hyenas, the southwest, decolonization, trucks, sluts
My album of the day. Don't love every song on this 23 track project, a compilation album from Surf Gang skater/producer, but it's always interesting. A lot of highs too like K$upreme's DIGITAL, Rx Papi's PAP SHIESTY, Anycia and Robb Bank$ on BASIC. Feels like a victory lap for the current sound of new wave underground rap. Whether you like it or not you can't deny this rap compilation is way more interesting than the Lyrical Lemonade one released the same day. Similarly, there's a preposterous interpolation of Fergie's Glamorous at the end of this that's still better than when Jack Harlow did it
My album of the day. Emo-Country rock out of New York. Love the way they sing on here, bursting with emotion, and the rest of the band blankets the vocals so well. Catalina, Bunk Bed, and Giving Head were my favorite tracks
