Good morning, dear friends, faithful readers, and random stumblers. It’s April 30th, and we are at the end of this month, slowly rolling into May, and then, a long-awaited summer. Today, I am premiering a wonderful video for you for a track titled “Serifa” by Fax + Braulio Lam. It is taken from their upcoming album, Mixed Signals III, due out in June via the influential Dragon’s Eye Recordings, curated and operated by the one and only Yann Novak, who is currently the featured artist on Headphone Community. That’s right – Yann is just coming to the end of his residency on our platform, where we spent the entire month talking about his music, his art, and his label, sharing some deeply personal insights, vulnerable moments, and, of course, all of the beautiful music, not only composed by himself, but also appearing on his imprint, which is how we land on this upcoming release. But I didn’t need this particular trajectory in order to arrive here – Ruben Tamayo and Braulio Lam have been on my radar since the first volume of this trilogy, which is now complete. The first installment came out in 2020, followed by the second two years later, for which I premiered another video titled “Visions“, and now, we arrive at the third, for which they also share this video, created by Braulio’s cousin Garret, who goes by his alias Toazt.
