Jesus Vio, currently based in western Massachusetts, makes a blend of funky, angular pop rock that just makes you feel good. Sin Paco is a perfect example of this. On most tracks, Wendy Eisenberg’s voice and bass serves as a counterpoint to Vio’s eclecticism and light singing. This gives the album a unique, progressive shape and color. Littered throughout this album are new musical ventures for Jesus. There are tracks that feature rap and industrial rhythms and tracks that could fall into the country western category, and even the jam-category.

The music is hard to pin down and makes this album, song by song, a refreshing surprise. All the tracks have their funky, unique quirks that make this a record only Jesus Vio could put out. I strongly recommend this album if you happen to be a Boston music aficionado or just a “good music” aficionado. There is even a special surprise from Germany’s Tellavision at the end that is probably my favorite track on the album, and my new favorite song.

Thank you Jesus for sharing this with the Hassle and premiering this with us.
