Marinero
Hella Love
'Hella Love', the Hardly Art debut from Marinero, is an album about closing a chapter. It's Jess Sylvester's grand farewell, and love letter to his hometown and the place he grew up, The San Francisco Bay Area, before relocating to Los Angeles after finishing his debut release. Pulling sonic influences from classic Latin American groups and international composers from the '60s and '70s like Los Terricolas, Ennio Morricone, Esquivel, Carole King and Serge Gainsbourg, 'Hella Love' finds Sylvester fusing classical arrangements with a variety of different genres, evoking a sonic nostalgia blended with other contemporary artists like Chicano Batman, Connan Mockasin, and Chris Cohen. Initial run of the LP will be pressed on yellow vinyl.
