Weekly Roundup: RGV Songs 8/15/21
La Ratera - Mundo Peligroso
The high octane garage rock of La Ratera is still burning strong after five years since their last release. The flamboyant vocals and cascading riffage make this band one to look forward to when (if) shows return to normalcy.
Henley - Funny
Fiery acoustic-driven post-grunge propels Henley’s vengeful second single, with pained singing full of conviction that’s as convincing as it is impressive.
I Killed Techno! - Quit Your Day Job
The abrasive doom and gloom of IKT graces this compilation by Big Money Cybergrind records, opening with tortured screams from hell and ending with paranoid synth strings in classic IKT fashion.
Italia - Kawaii Summertime (Feat. Sweet Clay)
The RGV’s kawaii queen is back with another cheerful collaboration. Sunny synth stabs, buoyant beats, twinkling bells — it’s all part of her fantasy worldbuilding.
FranKing - Barnacle
Abstract inner dialogue, shaky vocals, bedroom keys and beats. With gradual intensity, it surprisingly becomes one of the most cathartic moments in RGV music this year.
Wallo2k - Relaciones (Feat. Lil Brady and Drew Bravo
Three R&B crooners drop a velvety performance over a woeful classical guitar loop.
