I haven’t been excited about a Latin American group since I feel in love with Jóvenes y Sexys a full six months ago, but Las Robertas changed that in a flash yesterday when I watched the above video for their track “V For You”. Hailing from San José, Costa Rica — one of the happiest places on earth — Las Robertas make some of the best fuzzed out pop gems, or ‘fuzzy buzzy’ as Carles would say, I’ve heard all year (and trust me, I’ve heard a lot).
The group garnered a lot of attention this past May when they exploded onto the scene courtesy of GvB, prompting me to download their LP, entitled Cry Out Loud, from their bandcamp page where, unfortunately, it remained unlistened in my iTunes library until earlier this morning. You can still download three tracks from their site here, as well as listen in to my favorite song of the album below:
