Babymafew, aka Matt Ibarra from San Diego, lets
his pop sensibilities hang out all over this four-song debut “demo,”
“Pathological Liar.” But how can we take him seriously? How do we know what’s
true or not, considering he’s a self-proclaimed serial deceiver? How do we know
he’s not this friggin’ guy?
Or this friggin’ guy?
Oh wait, that’s the same guy.
Well, anyway, I guess the stakes aren’t really
too high if we’re just considering a cassette tape, so we can wrap ourselves in
the rubbery lo-fi beatscapes and pop melodies Ibarra mumble-croons through.
Think a mashup of early Crash Symbols stuff maybe. Let the giggle groove tickle
your fancy bone and jar some rhythm from your couch-bound can. Don’t be that
boring jerk that doesn’t get off the couch when a dancing song comes on the
stereo. Don’t be that guy.
