about

When our Best of Burque Music reader’s poll drops, I retreat to the comfort of mi chante to contemplate the latest recordings emanating from the independent principality of Bandcamp. It’s from such an austere cloister that realizations like the following are made. Local music magician Javier Romero deserves way more credit than he gets for his unassuming yet profoundly realized rocanrol emanations. Though we may differ on the significance of Weezer beyond the boundaries of the mythical blue, Romero understands what kick-ass rock music sounds like and can create it seamlessly at the touch of a button, That’s clearly evidenced on his latest effort, Retreater. Part GBV and all Javier—with a bit of Big Star and The Attractions thrown in for fun—this album is genuine, maximum rock-n-roll. Favorite track: “There’s a Ghost In The House.” - Sonic Reducer / Weekly Alibi

Exotic and otherworldly from one half of A Hawk and A Hacksaw. Think Stereolab meets Os Mutantes and then maybe change your mind seconds later. Just cool as hell! Strange Magic
