rickolus share new song + video from Bones LP

The Jacksonville, FL singer-songwriter rickoLus will be releasing a new album on March 5 and today is sharing the second single and video “Four Track Love Song”. Richard Colado aka rickoLus shared some thoughts on the track:

“Ever since I started playing music, I was fascinated by how it was recorded. I started with just singing into boom boxes when I was a kid, then, as teen, got two of my parents’ tape decks and a mixer and would switch the tape back and forth recording on top each take to simulate multitrack recording. Then once my friend got a 4-track cassette porti-studio, it blew my fucking mind. I mowed lawns one summer during high school to save up enough to get my own. This was my ticket to ride, I spent countless hours and filled shoe boxes with cassettes of songs and experiments with my four track. This song is about those days, sitting in my room, not knowing how to write a song, or play any instruments, or record music, smoking crappy weed out of old soda cans, all my music gear was slightly busted, there were no rules and there were no limits and it was the most fun I've ever had. That's when I fell in love with cassette four tracks.”

Listen to the song on Soundcloud, Bandcamp, or Spotify and check out the video below.
