"I need lots of medicine for these broken parts within..."
"Broken Parts" by the divergent art pop blender that is Point Lobo and from the upcoming EP "Tacoma Narrows" (set to drop on July 21) moves through mazes, unafraid to change shapes and colors. What feels, at first, like theatrical dance pop settles into a deeply cut funky indie rock groove. There are stabs of synth with light jazz / lounge punk affections. Point Lobo is the multi-media project of Miles Senzaki, drummer for the acclaimed hip hop group, The Pharcyde and here, Senzaki's pop friendly vocal aesthetic step into whimsical places with a divinely drawn chorus twirling in psychedelic ways. The surreal sense has a musical narrative moving down musical rabbit holes. Senzaki offers:
Point Lobo is the musical and visual project of Miles Senzaki, drummer for legendary hip hop group The Pharcyde and composer for the hit podcast The End Of The World with Josh Clark (of Stuff You Should Know). When the wavy lo-fi pop aesthetic of Men I Trust and Toro y Moi meets the colorful energy of David Byrne and Siouxsie and the Banshees, you get Point Lobo’s world: a soulful, riotous synthpop/post-punk soundtrack to a strange dream you had after a late night anime binge.
As a singer-songwriter/composer, Point Lobo has written/produced music for film, TV, and digital media, including the new album by comedian Josh Johnson (The Daily Show/Comedy Central) and videos for Hulu, Rocketjump, and Adult Swim. As a drummer, Point Lobo has backed up artists from Syl Johnson to Barbara Morrison to Crash Richard (Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros).
Point Lobo is also a digital 3D artist and creates award-winning stylized animations & videos alongside his music on Instagram and YouTube
“I think this song is about all the times we’ve felt desperate in our mental health struggles. Sometimes we can’t be strong and make major life changes, sometimes we just need that little extra help, that quick fix to get us through to the next day. And honestly, I don’t judge anyone for that, I think it’s something we’ve all been through in some form or another.”
Senzaki is also the composer for the End Of The World with Josh Clark podcast (of Stuff You Should Know) and he also is a 3D artist who created the animations for "Broken Parts" Official Lyric Video.
