Weekly Roundup: RGV singles and music videos 08/17
Lore-Do - Make a Killin’
With several clever ways to express both meanings of “make a killing,” Lore-Do flaunts his money-making confidence over a sparse sinister hip-hop riff.
Mathew Maciel - Resisting You
Inspired high-energy pop-rock that is strengthened by the angelic vocals, while keeping some of the usual Christian rock cringe at bay.
A.O.G. x Jeno - Believe!
A breezy hip-hop video with slick bro raps that fit well with the care-free South Padre Island scenery.
Edwin Voyager - wear ur skin
The usual lethargic psychedelia of Edwin Voyager gets ramped up with time warps and stuttering glitches.
LennonB - Pills
A drowsy and roughly mixed hip-hop track about frustrations after what’s supposed to be casual sex.
disease freak - pulling leaves
Disease freak drops his usual droning post-punk for acoustic emo with screeching cryouts and rough strumming
Fronterawave - Cumbia del Olvido
Charlie Vela has created an Instagram page for his lo-fi beats catalog. It’s locally inspired hauntology that’s as serene as it is eerie.
