Oyo Demo II cassette

Second release from this Argentinian solo project, released May of 2023. The third release by OYO which followed this one, has also been out for well over a year. Five songs of lo-fi bedroom punk entirely comprised of drum machine, synthesizer, and vocals. Most of the songs on this cassette feel as if vocals were put on top of constantly dying in Pac-Man, which I found a bit panic-inducing. The final track, “Alien Hands (Body Language),” is so wonderfully bouncy and poppy and catchy that it is easily my favorite of the batch. Cassette released in the states by XTRO, who standardly do very limited runs of 25 copies, and seeing as this came out a year-and-a-half ago, it is already long sold out.
