Weekly Roundup: RGV songs and videos 09/07
Pillowsnake - HAZEHazEHAZE
Even when Pillowsnake turns his brilliantly harsh psychedelia into an easygoing soundscape, there’s a sense of tension holding throughout, as lilting mystical melodies cloud around a thumping southern hip-hop beat.
As I Dosed Myself - Nitro Summer
With a cynical tone and fierce punk riffs, the debut single from AIDM is a great introductory statement about achieving what they want with the power of nitro cold brew.
Hoodie Hood - Cypher (ft. A.O.D. & Lennon B.)
One of the closest instances of a posse cut in the RGV with Hoodie Hood, A.O.D. and Lennon B. spitting verses that are as competitive as they are cohesive.
Ali Wagner - Loving You
Casa Panchita Studios and Life Through Lens record Ali Wagner’s charming acoustic performance of “Loving You” from her 2016 album — with rich sound, gently drifting camerawork, and inside a cozy fireplace studio.
Italia - I’ll Be Back Soon
This sleepy emo-pop ditty becomes ominous in a music video with a samurai sword, dark empty Brownsville streets, and spooky red lighting.
Jesika - Sentida
Jesika’s signature strong, yet gentle, vocals deliver a poignant performance in an impromptu backyard setting.
Speck and Grim - Big Belt Texas
It’s a touchdown celebration for Texas hip-hop with tilting camerawork, tasteful glitches, and fuzzy filters to emulate that faded feeling.
