::Psycho Weazel – Sueño Cálido::
Swiss duo Psycho Weazel step in with some dance floor dynamite.
Léo Besso and Ivo Roxo’s story is one of kinship; a tale of two friends spurring each other through an ever-ascending journey propelled by soft hearts and a magnetic, boisterous energy.
With hours stacking in the studio, Psycho Weazel defined their sound with the beautifully balanced ‘boysdontcry’. This LP sought to give license to emotional expression whilst showcasing an important facet of their characters that extends beyond party starters and is more introspective and complex.
This balance is echoed across their latest outing for Exploited Club. ‘Sueño Cálido’ is equal parts heartfelt and mobile; club bangers with a cosy tinge perfect for warm summer dance floors.
The title track kicks things off with a deft counterbalance of power and poignancy. Nifty polyrhythms dance a syncopated shuffle under buttery synths that swell into humid plumes, while a boxing bass line tacks together a highly infectious groove. More melodies are gently folded in as emotion mounts, and a clever, free-flowing arrangement keeps the listener engaged, while a certain lo-fi quality wraps them in a homey blanket.
‘Sueur’ follows up with a slapping 909 drum track adorned with a bubbling organ and broad, colorful synth sweeps. Again, lively sequencing keeps the listener on their toes as drums are expertly dropped in and out, while melodies duck and weave across a bold, no-nonsense DJ tool.
‘Body Alarm’ brings things to a steamy close. Toms lead the charge here as they form the bones of a totally irresistible vibe, enhanced with carnival vocal cuts and sharp organ jabs. A wild breakdown unfolds as the energy stacks in layers, keeping the mood at boiling point until the very end.
