Broncho [outside]

BRONCHO’s latest album Natural Pleasure is a hazy, wine-purpled capsule made for lazy late-night swaying and low lighting. Through the underwater drum beats, Ryan Lindsey’s dreamy falsetto, and back-of-the-throat slurred annunciation, the Oklahoma lo-fi rockers’ latest installment is an effortless addition to their ever-slouchier discography. As liquefied as the band’s seamless songwriting can feel, BRONCHO’s live performance accentuates their shimmying basslines and smirking melodies for a hypnotic and palpably energetic experience. Dipping into the quartet’s cheekier punk-infused past and weaving through their distortion-soaked descent into psychedelia, BRONCHO pulls off a versatile show distinctly their own. – Caroline Drew
