Roundup: RGV Songs and Videos 08/22/22
A roundup of new RGV music, featuring blissful indie-pop, corrido melancholy, and politically charged electropunk.
Lost In Limbo - crush on you
Sultry vocals, slick grooves, mesmerizing ambience. It’s hard not to wallow in the blissful extravagance of Lost In Limbo’s first single of the year.
I Killed Techno! - If I Wanted To Hear An Asshole Talk I’d Fart
This single off IKT’s upcoming EP delivers his signature ugly electropunk through oscillating synths that hit like a stun gun, and a growling critique of Greg Abbott (at least we think it is).
Italia - No He Olvidado
Beauty meets tension in the relationship scars of Italia’s first corrido. The ghostly vocals, taut strums, and rapid clicks are a testament to her search for inspiration outside of her usual dreamy realms.
Courtsidejay & J-Sea - Hard To Breathe
The harmonious mix of Jay’s sad-boy crooning and J’s sleek lilting meet once again in this opulent R&B single.
Tina Van - Echoes
There’s a gripping sense of apprehension throughout this song, as this singer-songwriter pushes past her own inhibiting thoughts. It’s Tina Van’s first single since her 2019 debut, with more to come. It seems she really is past the echoes in her head.
No Fucking Way - Choke
The debut single of these self-described “part time punks” runs part-time as well with its dense and kinetic two-minute runtime.
