From Boomkat

"Roberto Carlos fills the fatbacked rhythms with melodic elements, processed guitars and intricate shimmers, aided and abetted by Adam Heathcott. 'Sometimes too lucky' maintains this connection to 'real' instruments - a lonesome guitar rides a rich bed of vibes, like an after hours jam led by the Compass point All Stars. 'Serpent Regular' opens with a Sun Ra-ish moment, then again the stringed instruments come into focus, offering a reflective, cannily poised composition, a song. 'Yellow Kite' has to be the highlight here, like a long lost Tom Tom Club dub, out and out balearic heaven. Flip to the cd for a couple of bonus tracks - 'Help me out now' looping a breathy vocal, over a languid, relaxed beat - like a much funkier version of the early Tortoise sides. 'Hostas' ends with a suitably hushed tone: a Beach Boys inspired vocal, and music laying somewhere between early Mouse On Mars and the High Llamas. This is a peach of a release, and shows the forefront of Miami music reaching out into new areas - right in the midst of the uk leg of their european tour - its just great to hear something so genuine and original. Really excellent stuff, and suffice to say - great packaging every time. Killer."
