from the EP Bright City Lights, Tuff Em Up! Records, 2010I realize this song made the rounds on a grip of blogs a while back, but it’s so fucking silky smooth that it deserves to stay in rotation all damn year in my opinion! With a thundering bassline that would make Patrick Cowley proud & and synthesizers tastefully mangled slop-chop style, this burner is a rather ambitious and all around epic affair for someone’s debut release--- and goddamn right too, because it’s clear that Chilean artist Barretso isn’t fucking around with any foreplay, he’s going directly for the money shot. Not only does he serve as the composer & producer of the tracks on this EP, he’s the one singing as well, doing a bangup job at channeling that coke-fueled anthemic ‘80s vibe which lays at the root of this entire ‘chill-wave’ explosion. There is a forthcoming full length slated for release later in the year, and gauging by the tracks he has posted on his myspace page, it’s not going to let up on the velocity at all; buckle up and pump this one on the highway for full effect...
