Bleep

When you’ve attracted this much music press attention in your early to mid-twenties, you’re bound to start feeling the pressure. For Salvador Navarrete aka Sega Bodega — the best solution was to let it fuel his debut album. Fittingly titled Salvador, the album takes the vast rolodex of sounds Navarrete has explored across countless EPs — from electronic and club music to UK bass and outsider hip-hop — and channels these forces into a formidable and futuristic pop whole. Where the likes of ‘Masochism’ and ‘Salv Goes To Hollywood’ tread the depths of excess to the sharp, metallic sound of hyperpop, the affirmative bombast of ‘U Got The Fever’ and ‘U Suck’ offer just the right self-affirmative antidote.
