Man I love an album that won't sit still, that's got its throughline and theme but that just takes you on all these little sideroads through the countryside.
Latin Playboys' self-titled debut has a stagger'long, bluesy backbone, not too far from the band's Los Lobos roots, but then it's off into swampwater drones, ragged horns, fuzzed out textures, a roadtrip through strange lands with details in every detour. It's rich, real, strange, Beta Band songs piped from an ancient dimension though a dusty backyard radio, hunter's moon rising 4.5/5
