Tincho is a Seattle-based solo project which creates a slick combo of college rock and dream pop, or ‘power dream slop’ as he himself calls it. We’re delighted to share the video for ‘Seattle’, the first single from his new EP, Nos Vemos, due out this June.
‘Seattle’, a rowdy track of glo-fi pop, comes complete with a video from Chicago-based Ryan Ohm and Weird Life Films (Twin Peaks, Gauntlet Hair, Yawn). Shot onto 16mm film in the Weeping Willows at Elmhurst, IL, the footage has a weirded-out 90s vibe, a time of neon-drenched puddles and mass UFO sightings within the dead limits of big cities. The loner lead character passes through these scenes operating to his own logic, feeling a few notches loose from society and reality and the curious freedom that can bring. As Ohm explains: “Amidst packing bags and hitting a new coast, a boy falls deeper into alien conspiracies while drifting through his mind on his moped. Maybe the fumes are getting to him.”
Still, he manages to conjure enough lucid thinking to dream of something more satisfying, namely escape to the West Coast.
“Ima find a job in see see Seattle
Maybe I will see ya thereI’m waving bye to shit hole Chicago
Baby you don’t even care
I will find another band to take care of me
I will find another girl who never loved me
I will find another band to take care of me
Maybe I will see you there”
Nos Vemos is set for release on the 3rd June and you can pre-order it now from the Tincho Bandcamp page.
