Katzu Oso

One Liner: Bedroom-synth pop in both English and Spanish that I already can't remember and it is currently playing right now as I write this.

Wikipedia Genre: No Wikipedia, but bedroom synth pop
Home:  L.A.

Poster Position: 30 (almost the bottom of the poster)

Weekend One Only. Saturday.

Thoughts: The stage name of Paul Hernandez, from L.A., this is some synth-y little dance pop stuff that sounds bedroom made.  He's shared stages with Cuco and Omar Apollo (checks out - bilingual bedroom pop makers unite!), but there really isn't a ton available about the dude online.  First song is from 2017, and after that he has two albums and one EP - 2018's Pastel , 2020's Colour, and 2022's Tmi (and the "i" there has a little accent over it).  Not a ton of streams for most songs, but a few crack a million.  The top track is a single that then made it onto the 2020 EP - "kiss u better" with 5.6 million streams.
Man, that house makes me feel claustrophobic.  I need some of those items on that table or on the shelves taken to Goodwill immediately.  His little synth thing is dope though.  Meh song - it is cute and sweet, but also feels super generic.  Like you know he made it at home by messing with some software for hours, and then wrote some generic love lyrics over the top.  (that sounds mean, he's way better than I could be, I just don't notice anything all that memorable or special here).

The top song from his new album has 405k streams, "Amor Estrano"
Oooh, he got to go outside for that one!  And he got some SWEET effects to add to the video!  That car blowing up was SICK!  He kind of looks like that actor who sticks his jaw out and reminds me of Sly Stallone.  Uh, Milo Ventimiglia!  There we go!  Like with the other Spanish-language artists on the poster, I have no clue what he is going on about, so all I am left with is a relatively lame little synth and guitar ditty.  Don't care for it.

No need to see this guy do it live.  I hope he has good luck with those mean people who want his girlfriend back.
