Got the new plants in the garden yesterday, just in time for 2” of rain last night! They all seemed happy this morning.

El Americano: Indie Math Nerds
A few weeks ago, these guys came up in my New Music Mix and hooked me hard. Surely I’m responsible for at least 10% of the views on this video:
I’m always impressed by a drummer who can play with only a high-hat and ride.
Self-described “indie math nerds”1, they’re just directly up my alley. They remind me of mid-aughts Minus the Bear with a little more edge.
It surprises me (although it shouldn’t) that a group this talented has only released two EPs totaling 11 songs in four years, and that they don’t seem to tour much outside of the northeast. I hope they find enough success to come down my way at some point.
