….banking off Mondo Sonoro’s premiere in Spanish, here’s the American premiere (the TMT way) in English:
DEEP Spanish vibing here. Total West Coast Euro beach lax style too. And as the walk to shore always feels like a desert, Desert is here to ease the heat pain on your soles or sores where the sand landed in your sandal band. But I definitely don’t believe Google’s translation capabilities on the title, “Saps prou bé.”
The first thing I’m in LOVE with in the beginning of Desert’s “Saps prou bé” is that tape electric pulse static apparently I only hear when playing a tape near any technology newer than it. The second bit I dig a lot too is the combination of Beach House and Sigur Rós vocals. The last bit is more of an interest in how they reclaim that sorta Washed Out and Neon Indian chillwave/kosmistiche sound in the instrumentals. It’s all purely smashed together in a post Catalan folk-esque manor, and shit gets a little trippy, a little laid back, and a little breezy.
Now I’m itching for a day on the beach, yo! So bust out your briefcase vinyl players, y’all — ‘cause WiFi at the beach (should be) nonexistent, for SURE — Desert is popping out a 12-inch entitled Envalira on Minty Fresh Records and Buenritmo Records June 10. It’s JUST in time for a good week to lead into them ocean waves. Do yourself a favor: take a dip in Desert’s newest single “Saps prou bé” below and enjoy:
