Album Notes & Community Reviews

Bursting with erratic energy, the Brooklyn-based singer and keyboardist's debut album is a wildly eclectic fusion of Latin rhythms, dissonant jazz, and punk vitality. Supported by drummer Marco Buccelli, Rubinos utilizes heavily manipulated keyboards and frantic, bilingual vocal acrobatics to craft an unclassifiably joyful and complex sonic experience.
