So you probably wouldn't guess that I'm a Soda Stereo fan based on the remixes I've posted here so far but, as it turns out, I am. In an endless quest track down every obscure vintage shoegaze masterpiece I found Soda Stereo's staggering, surprising, and endlessly enjoyable Dynamo from 1992. This album effortlessly combines the most beguiling and entrancing elements of dreampop/shoegaze with Soda Stereo's existing mastery of post-punk guitar rock. For me this album represents a unique musical culture intersection, the tracks weave genre tropes together to form a tapestries yet each one is distinct and vibrant. "Texturas" is a bombastic shoegaze/pop song that closes the album. True to it's shogazy title, the track radiates clouds of guitar vapor, and the cherry on top is the wonderfully detached vocal harmonies that float languidly through the miasma. This performance is from their recent well received reunion tour in 2007. More Soda Stereo and other great videos to come. Enjoy!
