Neotrance with shoegaze elements!
forced exposure:
"Ricardo Tobar showcases his sometimes warm and fuzzy, sometimes devastating style with El Sunset. "El Sunset" is a haunting spine-tingler, bearing witness to Mr Tobar's production finesse. "Made" is soaring, driving and euphoric, a slice of electronic-rock bombast that lovers of novelty genre names might well dub nu-gaze (or perhaps even nu-shoe?!). Finally, "Tickets" features cascades of heart-wrenching melodies, just pleading with you to flip back over and start listening all over again."

"Ricardo Tobar is the latest addition to the evergrowing stable of Border Community artists. "El Sunset" is a seminar in uplifting trendy-trance (the term we so lovingly use to describe this particular strand of electrohouse), with fluffy synths spurting melodies out as if it were the easiest thing on the planet. Dip in, it's warm... "
