Pressing Strings - And I For You - VINYL LP

Lars-Erik Larsson - God in Disguise [COMPACT DISCS] date 11/09/1998

Vinyl LP pressing. Los Retros, aka Mauri Tapia, from Oxnard CA. He has been making music since his early teens, playing every instrument on his recordings and has grown a loyal fanbase via YouTube, Soundcloud as well as local shows up and down the SoCal coast. Tracing his musical inspirations to both American and Latin American left-field pop and soft rock groups from the 70s/80s, 'Los Retros' is actually an homage to Chilean pop band Los Ángeles Negros.

Constant Future is the career-defining statement from Brooklyn-based noise-pop trio Parts & Labor. The album's 12 tracks deliver the bare essentials that made them sui generis totems of modern art-punk synthesized keyboard riffs distorted into oblivion, percussion pummeled hypnotically, crackling drones that haunt and soothe, fearless melodies hollered skyward. But fifth album Constant Future finds them crashing back to earth, focusing pointedly on what they do best unique, electronic landscapes melded with buzzing, anthemic hooks.
