Ever since October of 2011 we have been blasting I
Can Chase Dragons! at high volumes in the PGR office. Our fascination
started with the release of the single “Diving For Sunken Treasures” and it
snowballed from there. Maybe it was the catchy whistling in this debut track
that put our ears on the edge of their seats, eagerly waiting each new release.
So it is our pleasure to bring to you yet another amazing new track“Republique.”
ICCD! is the solo project of Julio Gudiño, lead singer of
Mexico City’s biggest indie band, The Plastics Revolution. We
stumbled upon these guys in the middle of a sidewalk jam session at Barton
Springs as SXSW 2011 came to an end. Julio led the band for hours but the crowd
would not let them stop, even to the point of them having to play some songs
twice. He is no stranger to being the frontman of a band and is now pushing his
musical limits to the electronic dream pop side of the spectrum. Drawing
influences from Panda Bear and El Guincho as
he loops electric textures combining organic and synthesized sounds with lyrics
in English and Spanish.
He is currently going to school in Boston and polishing up
his live set to include a drummer, bassist and visuals that will blow your mind
so be on the lookout for East Coast tour dates in the very near future. He also
started a Mexican indie label, Dos Pelícanos, and their first act
of awesomeness was to release the I Can Chase Dragons! debut album “Expansión”
in January. You can purchase it for just $7.92 on iTunes or name your price on
Bandcamp.
Last but not least, feast your eyes on the video below
of “Ceder y Crecer” and start day dreaming of flying
kites in sun-filled skies and palm trees blowing in the wind.
