BASED EP 014: Lando & The Infinite Sadness

Can't believe we've made it to episode 14 already! This guest is really special for us, someone who has been recommended from the beginning of the Based days. Introducing Lando & The Infinite Sadness, a musical project by Josue Vargas to fuse his affinity for jazz/hip-hop/emo/neo soul. Lando released Dark Matter early this year, and has gained overwhelming support ever since. Believe it or not, Lando is essentially a one man band. He is able to lay down the drums, bass, guitar, and keys on every record and then hands it over to a trusted friend to polish with sax. Vargas produced the bulk of Dark Matter with little more than a laptop, a MIDI keyboard, and a bass guitar. As a huge fan of jazz and accompanying genres, he is able to morph his sound to reflect his influences, while keeping fresh and pushing the creative envelope. In this episode, Lando highlights some of the records on this project, talks to us about his creative process in and out of COVID, and debuts some exclusive unreleased special tracks. He also talks about working with other musicians in Miami and multiple musical projects with different sounds. Lando was such a pleasure to have as a guest, Jordie + Cate are so grateful for opportunities like these! If you like what you heard, follow us on Instagram @based90.5!
