Every Wednesday, the ugly hug shares a playlist personally curated by an artist/band that we have been enjoying. This week we have a collection of songs put together by the electronically collaborative duo amigos imaginarios.

Arbol Ruiz (Paris via Columbia) and Caleb Chase (Worcester, MA) have been partners in crime since 2021, with two albums made electronically by sending files back and forth. Their most recent release, their TV-14 Recordings debut called Ice Cream, is a rather engaging and eccentric collection and the first composed in person since the duo’s initial launch. An amigos imaginarios listen is not one made for multi-tasking, as their delipidated ecosystem of trinkety hooks and experimental charisma offer a rewarding experience when you embark into their beautifully bizarreo world that they so graciously have invited us into.

About their playlist, Ruiz and Chase shared;

Our Playlist is Lunatics: Moon Pretty moon that goes around the whole world Tell my love that I still love her Tell her that I still have her photo smiling Streets full of people All alone Roads full of houses Never home Church full of singing Out of tune Everyone’s gone to the moon
