#116 Holy Fuck - Latin

In a curious role reversal, recommended to me by my brother. I liked their original EP, so game on.

Its groovin stuff, a good mix of hooky bass lines, techno builds and enough texture and noise to give it its own sound. And the live drums do it a lot of favors, adding even more character. That's what it is, electronic music with character. To fill my quota of namedropping, I'd call it a mix of Surrender-era chemical brothers, M83 and manitoba/caribou, with a dash of late nin's ragged edge buzz.

By the way, I've been getting too ambitious with these, trying to keep them to pithy impressions, and maybe a point of reference or two or three or four. Accordingly, lets call it 4/5
