Bigott – Pachanga
One of the few tracks I was not able to fit into the “Best So Far” from this past week’s radio show was this lovely one from an equally lovely little record from Bigott. Bigott (I’m guessing pronounced “Bi-Go-Te,” as in spanish for mustache) is the stage name for Borja Laudo an artist out of Spain, Zaragoza to be exact, though he sings all in English. I’d received this record a few months ago, but the blitz of papers, finals and grading caused it to be a bit underappreciated until last month’s all-vinyl edition. “Pachanga” struck me as a perfect Sunday afternoon kind of song, not just because of the references to Sundays in it but because of the breezy quality to the acoustic guitar and those handclaps which I’m a well known sucker for. Though there are a quite a few special shows planned in the coming months, you’ll likely hear other tracks from this record quite a bit on the radio, in addition to the recently re-released, also on KuDeTa, Bruno EP from Jovenes y Sexys (“re-released” isn’t quite right, after all, the prior EP and Remixed Ep were only available online).
