The art of the Latin American ballads and boleros is almost unrivaled in its strength and emotion. These are just "awful" songs of love and longing. To me the irony comes from the fact that in the land of "Machismo" there are these boys cranking out the most pussy whipped music to exist. I mean, talk about your ultimate break up mix tape you listened to in high school. This newest Brown Acid installation highlights on those vintage psychedelic sounds of said boleros and ballads and also some slow jams as well. Reverberated vocals, twangy guitar licks, warm farfisas, phantom fuzzes, and some strut-worthy basslines.
Now take your left hand and hold your heart and with your right hand clench the air in front of your face. Then proceed to shake that right fist to the lyrics.
