I talked a lot about Moar last year, the garage band Rafael Valles Hilario does with friends. Rafael has another project called Tuff Guac that's similar, but he sang & played everything himself on this second Tuff Guac album 'Swanky Love' that came out today.
I forget who all liked Moar last year, but if you did, you'll like this. I dig everything Rafael makes. 💥
New TUFF GUAC record 'Swanky Love' up for preorder! Comes out in less than a month (Mar 22).
Last year I raved about MOAR, this dude's other band. Tuff Guac is similar but kinda more chill in spots and western-y? Which is wild, because he's Belgian 😂
I may have previously mentioned the first single, "Mr Fear". This second single is "I'm Not a Man" and it's great. Big AOTY vibes from Rafael's stuff (always). Psyched to hear the whole thing and probably spin it on and off for the whole rest of the year, I'm sure.
I've been writing and playing music for like 30 years now, and I hope that someday I'll write a song as good as Friskoman by Tuff Guac. Just a couple minutes of pure joy.
