Weekly Roundup: RGV singles and music videos 08/03
Drew Bravo - Worst Side
Need a change of pace in your party mix? Here’s some moody and melodic raps over a hazy crystalline beat to add some feels to your night. The colorful video by PLAY hits you hard with nostalgia for better times.
Beaches - Field Goal
An R&B dance fog to really get lost in — dense, skittering, and buoyant — with a jazzy vaporwave veneer for added transcendence.
Joshua Lopez - Flamingo Goes Djent (Marc Rebillet remix)
During the rise of online performances, Marc Rebillet’s eclectic goofiness has made him a YouTube looping superstar. McAllen’s Joshua Lopez — of Widowmaker Studio fame — recently added a heavier twist with his Djent guitar riffage, making the surrealism even more comedic and engaging.
Disease Freak - carefree valley rocket ralley
The playfully dark side project by TV Flesh’s Leo Aguilar is a post-punk brood fest with thick guitar drones, monotone moaning, and a heavy sense of cynicism
Y.O.U.N.G.S.I.M.B.A - G.I.R
A competent anthem that demands respect for an up and rapper who’s making all the right moves. Get It Right!
Library Hours - Collapse
Cluttered indie-emo guitar picking and melodramatic screams with shoddy sound quality that gives a feeling of small town loneliness.
PLAY - Flex (featuring Yung Masterart)
PLAY’s volume of song and video output is unmatched. At this point, he can quickly release something on a whim and it’ll still be a good time. Nonchalant punchlines, a buddy to rap with him, and GTA IV clips just for a minute and a half video? Why not?
