The Stranger

El Guincho is the alias of Spanish musician Pablo Díaz-Reixa, also of the band Coconot. El Guincho's recordings absorb elements of tropicália, Afrobeat, and psych-pop, and synthesize them into something else entirely—a trippy, swirling, sampledelic sound anchored to 4/4 club thump and syncopated steel drum and hand percussion, like Animal Collective at their most giddy and uplifted. Live, Díaz-Reixa sings, controls loops, and plays keyboards, backed by another musician triggering rhythm and bass. With Copy and DJ Kid Hops.
