Gabriel Garzón-Montano Live Preview: 3/18, Bandsintown Plus

BY JORDAN MAINZER

Jardín had a wide variety of styles. Gabriel Garzón-Montano’s latest album Agüita, which he calls “anti-genre”, is truly diverse, as he adds R&B, reggaetón, and trap to his many worn hats. On his first release for Jagjaguwar (it came out last October), Garzón-Montano sings about love and relationships and loss and death over a swath of expertly sequenced songs. Opener “Tombs” reveals his palate of ever-changing vocal inflections and plinks of piano sharing a stage with thumps of bass, orchestral flutters, and sharp, Prince-like guitars. Like the songs on Jardín, they’re not minimal, but they don’t have anything that sounds like it doesn’t belong. The strutting, echoey funk and synth arpeggios effectively contrast the acoustic strums of “With A Smile”, while his creaking falsetto renders the orchestration of “Fields” all the more melancholy. On emotional centerpiece “Moonless”, Garzón-Montano croons about how he felt after his mom passed away, “disposed of wisdom like a goldfish,” cutting to the acuteness of his loss by mincing no words. He’s similarly blunt about a relationship in limbo on the sexually frank someone, which he feels adds to the canon of great desperate R&B tunes: “Conversation tense, you were edible / Kissed me, pulled back and said / ‘Not tonight, but can I get some head?’” A contemporary line for an artist that sometimes relies on old school tropes. 

Of course, Agüita is also notable in Garzón-Montano’s catalog because it’s not only his first recorded foray into reggaetón and radio-and-club-ready jams, but his first recorded Spanish language songs. “Muñeca” is in all Spanish, and the clanging “Mira My Look”, like its title, alternates between English and Spanish. As for his live performance tonight, broadcast from The Lodge Room in L.A.’s Highland Park neighborhood, who knows what his live setup will be like. He’ll be performing songs from Agüita, and I’d love to hear these more dance-forward tracks in that setting along with the guitar-inflected gentleness of the quieter Agüita and Jardín tunes. The live performance and Q&A stream at 8 PM CST on Bandsintown Plus.

Agüita by Gabriel Garzón-Montano

[alittlebeatofthis]

Welcome to 2021 ~

Ahh, how I’ve missed this. After taking a year off from blogging, I’ve rebooted alittlebeatofthis.com. Music has always been my first love, and I’m excited to introduce more new artists, tracks and albums to you. Without further ado, let’s talk about my current favorite artist Gabriel Garzón-Montano.

Garzón-Montano is a multi-instrumentalist based in NYC, first gaining recognition when he opened for Lenny Kravitz’ world tour in 2014. Following that momentum, he debuted his first album Jarin in 2017 and has continued to refine his sound.

I learned of him this past year with his October 2020 release of Agüita. Unlike his previous work utilizing funk and R&B, this sophomore album plays with a plethora of sounds and can’t be cramped into a specific genre. Instead, its strength lies in its musical variety and Garzón-Montano’s buttery vocals. Sometimes you’ll hear him crooning out a guitar-led ballad, like on “Bloom,” but other times he turns up his swag on reggaton tracks like “Muñeca.” You really can’t compartmentalize him, but you will enjoy everything he creates.  

If you’re craving a vocalist who can play all sides, take a listen to Agüita.

Gabriel Garzon-Montano - Bombo Fabrika Remix (Feat. Little Simz)

[daylightarchives]

TOP ALBUMS OF 2017 (SO FAR)

It’s been a crazy year.. But also, somehow, one of the best years for music I think I might have ever been alive for! Here are some of my favorite albums of this year, lovingly catalogued and described in hopes that others enjoy these records as much as I have and continue to. Enjoy!

20. Alvvays - Antisocialites - If European stalwarts of indie like Chromatics and Pheonix can’t be counted on to bring their twee, vaguely filmic charm to 2017 (sorry, Tí Amo,) well, at least we have Alvvays. Coloring the totally played out dream-pop formula with flavors of shoegaze, punk, and post-punk, Alvvays bring a shit ton of personality to a genre that, most of the time, projects aloof disinterest; needless to say, it’s a welcome change of pace. Furthermore, there’s some serious songwriting muscle on display here, and every song seems even catchier than the last: from the washed out, dreamy In Undertow all the way to the longing closer, Forget About Life, Antisocialites remains a fun, engaging and memorable listen that I honestly defy anyone not to enjoy - and it has some of the best singles of the year in tracks like Dreams Tonite and the previously mentioned In Undertow.

19. Arca - Arca - There’s always been a sort of totally alien charm to the twisted and avant-garde electronic music that Alejandro Ghersi makes as Arca - on his latest self-titled record, everything that entices me about Arca’s music is turned up to 11 with the inclusion of his pained, heart wrenching vocals. Despite being sung entirely in nakedly emotional fits of his native Spanish, Arca seems somehow to reveal even less about himself than he did on his previous, instrumental albums, shrouding everything in a vague, mysterious aura on tracks like Reverie, Anoche, and (my by-and-far favorite) Sin Rumbo. Perhaps one of the most unique records to hit the mainstream this year, Arca is as good an introduction to this guy as any, and a great album.

18. Ariel Pink - Dedicated to Bobby Jameson - Basically another great weirdo-pop record from the reigning king of weirdo-pop. Bobby Jameson is effortlessly funny, sexy, bizarre, and touching, even at its most gloriously lo-fi and porny moments (Death Patrol, anyone?) The instrumental palette expands and contracts throughout the record, with some genuinely affecting acoustic moments and some batshit sound effects elsewhere that evoke the weirder moments of 2014’s also excellent Pom Pom. Always different, always the same.

17. Mac Demarco - This Old Dog - Leave it to a goofball like Mac Demarco to make an album that’s simultaneously the saddest thing he’s ever done, and the easiest record to chill out to of the year. Seriously, This Old Dog can be gut wrenching, especially when Mac is coming to terms with his broken family dynamics on tracks like Sister and Moonlight on the River. But Mac’s penchant for endlessly breezy riffs is all over this thing, making tracks like Still Beating, This Old Dog, and One More Love Song some incredibly easy and fun songs to listen to, in spite of the heavy subject matter. This Old Dog is an album I’ve lived comfortably with since its release because it’s so catchy, listenable and light, but still manages to contain multitudes about the guy behind these pained songs.

16. Dirty Projectors - Dirty Projectors - To the extent that Dirty Projectors mastermind Dave Longstreth can be viewed as a sort of elder statesman of the modern indie-landscape (ushering in R&B and pop worship, introducing Ezra Koenig and Rostam Batmanglij, constantly participating in the critical dialog surrounding his art and the art of the others), I think his new album Dirty Projectors can be seen as a sort of comment on the landscape he’s helped to shape, as well as the maybe too personal breakup album we all know it as. Dirty Projectors is a primer on white-boy R&B presented as 9 gloriously overstuffed tone poems, each obsessed with some aspect of his failed relationship with former Dirty Projector Amber Coffman. Up In Hudson is an autotune epic full of joyous horns and harmonies, Cool Your Heart is an awesome cacophony of polyrhythms anchored by D∆WN’s levelheaded chorus, and centerpiece Little Bubble is a baroque masterpiece that’s understated and subtle in all the right ways - a pleasant break from Longstreth’s breathless oversharing everywhere else on the album. If FJM wasn’t so deft at manipulating the journalists, this would’ve been the event album of the year; for Amber’s sake, I’m glad it isn’t.

15. Father John Misty - Pure Comedy - Shave your beard, ditch the funny-guy schtick, and write your fatalist opus: at least, that’s how Father John Misty owned the first half of the year, deftly playing the soundbite game and keeping his name in everyone’s mouth until the fabled album finally arrived. Fortunately, the music holds up for the most part, even if Pure Comedy is a little heavy on the ballads and could've used some of I Love You, Honeybear’s variety. Still, songs like Smoochie, The Ballad of the Dying Man, and A Bigger Paper Bag are stunners, and the analog ear candy production all over this album is some of the best I’ve heard this year. I guess my only gripe is that 2017 is a bummer enough already without Father John Misty telling us how screwed we are… Maybe take the title a little more literally for Pure Comedy 2?

14. Gabriel Garzón-Montano - Jardín - Gabriel Garzón-Montano, the guy that Drake sampled for sleeper-hit Jungle, signed with beat-music giant Stones Throw (home of hip-hop institutions like Madlib, Knxwledge, and countless others) to release Jardín - turns out, that odd couple was perfectly paired. Jardín is full of these excellent, miniature masterclasses in beatmaking, like the skittering percussion of “Long Ears” or the funk swagger of “Crawl.” Still, the record is pretty far from being some low key hip-hop worship thing, and acts pretty often as a vehicle for Garzón-Montano’s ambitious arrangements (“Fruitflies,” “Trial”) and vocal performances (“Cantiga,” “Sour Mango”), which range from old school R&B to almost classically baroque. Throughout, the instrumental palette is tasteful and restrained, and everything is overcome by a sexy, nocturnal vibe that just sounds great. I’m not sure what more I could possibly want from a record as generous as Jardín.

13. Japanese Breakfast - Soft Sounds From Another Planet - Something of a companion to 2017’s other great dream pop album, Antisocialites, Soft Sounds From Another Planet ditches that record’s lighthearted romanticism in favor of blistering political intensity and a wistful sort of sadness that evokes the crooners of the sixties on cuts like Boyish and ’Til Death. Taking influence from towering figures like Bradford Cox, Michelle Zauner crafts a work entirely her own here, weaving in strokes of shoegaze, chamber pop, and even an almost disco influenced synth-pop moment on standout The Machinist. Furthermore, there’s a really compelling interplay lyrically between songs that seem to assert Zauner’s efficacy as a woman (Diving Woman, the title track) with stories about the men who try to tear that efficacy down on tracks like Boyish and Road Head. Zauner’s political subtext on this record is definitely more complicated than I could understand or attempt to explain, but it almost doesn’t matter: with Soft Sounds, Japanese Breakfast weaves that social dynamic into a tapestry of beautiful music and gripping lyricism that will continue to impress and compel me for a long time.

12. JAY Z - 4:44 - In a decidedly more minor way, JAY Z’s 4:44 feels like his Dark Twisted Fantasy moment: in a time of personal turmoil played out on a grand public scale, the misunderstood artist retreats into himself and blows an unimaginable amount of money crafting an album too good to be ignored by the hateful masses. Luckily, the similarities end there, and 4:44 stays a low-key affair that plays impressively to Jay’s skills as both a rapper and simply as a magnetic personality, even if his almost spoken word delivery here often blurs the lines between those two things. All over the place, 4:44 is a rambling and opulent affair, full of expensive samples and rumination on internal conflicts of the ludicrously wealthy; it’s certainly to JAY Z’s credit that he can somehow keep that entertaining.

11. Kelly Lee Owens - Kelly Lee Owens - It’s always impressive when a record as slight and barely there as Kelly Lee Owens’ self titled debut can make an impression as strong as it did on me; even more impressive is the fact that this is her first record. Genre signifiers like “minimal techno” are frequently thrown towards skeletal, extended beats adorned only with the simplest melodies - you’ll find none of that on Kelly Lee Owens, a decidedly minimal-techno record that manages still to be incredibly lush and intoxicating. Whether Owens is highlighting the unique aspects of her collaborators styles as on Anxi with Jenny Hval or showcasing her own voice as she does throughout much of the record, Owens remains immaculately perched at the nexus between seductive and subtle - I haven’t heard anyone else operating so assuredly in this lane at all in 2017.

10. King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard - Flying Microtonal Banana - Far less jokey than the too-heavy Murder of the Universe and far less ephemeral than the barely there Sketches of Brunswick East, King Gizzard really nailed it on LP1 of 2017 with Flying Microtonal Banana. Shaking up their usually spartan Kraut-punk grooves with a wealth of added Eastern instrumentation and a whole different approach to tuning that required custom instruments for every band member, FMB sounds like a band intent on exploring every possible permutation of their sound; as luck would have it, microtonal is a good look for them, and the record is basically bangers from front to back. From the off-tune crooning of Sleep Drifter to the strangely danceable Nuclear Fusion, King Gizz really take a successful sonic detour on this one while still coming through with a wealth of strong material. Let’s hope things head back in that direction for LP’s 4 and 5 before year’s end.

9. LCD Soundsystem - American Dream - LCD Soundsystem is back, and everything they represented in their heyday is even more out of style now than it was when they broke up a few years ago. So why is American Dream so goddamn good? For me, it comes down to the fact that past the cloying pretension (again, very out of style in 2017) and attempted rock-star aloofness, James Murphy is a pretty passionate dude, and that soft side translates a lot more often than not on this new record. Far more low-key than the bombast of This Is Happening, American Dream sets the bar a few inches lower and then leaps over it with stunners like Oh Baby, Black Screen, and the defeatist funeral march of the title track. The righteous anger is a little less believable now that James Murphy has personally screwed his fans over, which unfortunately taints the supposedly epic How Do You Sleep? with the sour taste of a one sided dialogue where you know you’re getting an asshole’s side of the story. Still, American Dream is a very good LCD Soundsystem record, and at the very least earns its respect in the pantheon of 2017 releases on quality, if lacking in narrative thrust.

8. Oh Sees - Orc - John Dwyer is living proof that the troubadour still has a future in the financial black hole that is this music industry, and maybe one of the last DIY guys to break through and really become an institution in rock music; it’s telling that the man can count fucking Henry Rollins as one of his biggest fans. Approaching the 20 year anniversary of his longest standing musical project, Dwyer hunkered down with producer Ty Segall (!), a bassist, and two drummers to record Orc, a late period masterpiece that streamlines the best things about Oh See’s recent sonic direction into a sometimes blissed out, sometimes metal-leaning psych opus that’s weird and fun and exciting in all the right ways. Orc is a Spartan album with little to no filler and an almost monomaniacal focus on running the ten tracks that make this album up into the ground; Keys to the Castle is an eight minute epic that gives up on punk a third of the way in for heavenly keys, and Paranoise, well, lives up to its name. Anyone who claims that rock isn't exciting or viable anymore should be directed to this record with haste - John Dwyer presents a pretty convincing counter with this one.

7. Perfume Genius - No Shape - Perfume Genius’ No Shape is an incredibly dense and rewarding album: rich in sound, rich in feeling, rich in lyrical and instrumental complexity, it strikes me as an album that’s meant to be lived with, and that reveals itself over the multiple listens necessary to pick up on all the little quirks hidden throughout by mastermind Mike Hadreas. Luckily, none of what I just said precludes No Shape from also being the most immediately gratifying and exciting release yet from Perfume Genius, and maybe anyone else this year, too. The first two songs are barrages of massive indie guitars and anthemic melodies, and from there, No Shape settles into a stride of incredible song after incredible song that continuously demonstrate Hadreas’ incredible range and capacity for evoking emotion. The fact that it’s easily the best-produced record I’ve heard this year is just icing on the cake.

6. Thundercat - Drunk - The glorious shitshow of an album that this glorious shitshow of a year deserves - and I mean that in the best possible way. While other artists have grappled with the craziness of the year with unfailing pretension (Father John Misty) or with intensely personal storytelling (Japanese Breakfast,) Thundercat seems to be coping in the same way the rest of us are - disappearing down a “rabbit ho” of drunken hilarity and making light of his occasionally destructive personality. Drunk is just as much of a showcase for Thundercat’s virtuosic bass skills as his overall funniness, though, and hyperactive bass workouts on tracks like Captain Stupido and Tokyo remind of his skills just as chill out moments like Walk On By and Drink Dat remind of his pop sensibilities. Thundercat stood behind the best of 2016’s music on the merits of his musicianship alone; with his affable personality in the fore, it’s no surprise how easily his solo work is beginning to connect on its own.

5. Brockhampton - Saturation I/Saturation II - Outclassing heavyweights like Drake, JAY-Z, and Kendrick Lamar, Brockhampton’s exciting debut and follow up Saturation (and Saturation II )are a reminder to me of why I fell in love with hip-hop in the first place: these records are a document of a bunch of kids willing the coolest shit they can think of into existence and then turning themselves into rockstars with whatever they came up with. That’s Kanye’s story, that’s Chance’s story, and now that torch is getting snatched by the willing and able guys behind America’s latest and greatest Boy Band. Fortunately, unlike all these heavyweights that seemed to get stuck in a rut this year, Brockhampton still has something to prove; let’s hope that takes awhile.

4. Fleet Foxes - Crack Up - Unlike FJM, Fleet Foxes frontman Robin Pecknold hasn’t given up on the world quite yet - that optimism, along with some of the most creative songwriting, production, and instrumentation I’ve heard all year, are what make Crack Up so special. The album has this sweeping, almost baroque quality to it; it’s more an album of suites and movements than individual tracks (that the lead single is an eight minute, two part behemoth speaks to this,) and Pecknold’s songwriting has finely begun to match the stately and massive sound his backing band has always been capable of making. Still, what keeps me coming back are the moments of almost religious stillness Pecknold conjures up on acoustic numbers like “Kept Woman”, “If You Need To, Keep Time On Me,” and “I Should See Memphis.” Crack-Up truly is a stunning album in every sense of the word.

3. Big Thief - Capacity - I keep coming back to this album because Adrianne Lenker filled it with what are potentially the best standalone songs of the year; if you care about guitar music at all, your literal favorite song of the year might end up being something off of Capacity. From the haunting narratives of songs like Watering and Coma to the pop-classicist bent of tracks like Great White Shark and Haley, this album is chock full of incredibly strong chord progressions and melodies that continue to reveal deeper beauty to me as the year goes on. This album is really something special.

2. Ryuichi Sakamoto - async - In this most fast paced and dizzying year, Oscar and Grammy winning composer Ryuichi Sakamoto cheated death at the hands of serious throat cancer and came out of retirement to produce a slow, languid album that rivals some of his best film scores (which include classics like Merry Christmas Mr. Lawrence and The Revenant) with async. Drunk on every banal detail of the life he nearly lost, Sakamoto crafts a serene album full of ambient twists and turns, spoken word passages reciting cosmic poetry (courtesy at one point of Andrei Tarkovsky’s father), and the heart-wrenching piano work this guy seems to be able to do in his sleep. Everything about this album is incredibly masterful in its depth and detail; the sound design of some of the album’s looser moments are stunning, and piano compositions like ubi and the remarkable andata are some of my favorite tracks of the year. Sakamoto really is an international treasure, and in async he gives us a beautiful celebration of life viewed through the lens of his trailblazing career. We should all be grateful.

1. Tricot - 3 - I don’t know if I’ve heard a more fun, electrifying and emotionally potent record as Tricot’s 3 all year, and the lyrics are entirely in Japanese; hopefully that alone speaks to the skill of these 3 gifted women as writers, instrumentalists and vocalists. Their trick for connecting emotionally across the language barrier seems to be some combination of brute force (these tracks are performed at blistering tempos, in fits and starts of total instrumental acrobatics) and incredibly emotional vocals that communicate more than enough on sound alone - these girls sound like they’re exorcizing demons out of their very souls, they play and sing so goddamned hard. It doesn’t hurt that the writing is incredible, full of total jams like the one-two-three punch that opens the record or the totally anthemic Munasawagi. Who would’ve guessed that the pop record of the year might just be a math-rock album by a Japanese girl-group?
