As Helado Negro, Roberto Carlos Lange creates shimmering and effervescent synth-pop that inhabits the twilight spaces between cultures. Born in South Florida to Ecuadorian parents and currently based in New York, Lange imbues his music with the heat and bright party sounds of Latin America, and often switches between Spanish and English. It’s crafted with musical dexterity—record samples, loops, synths, and a myriad of live instruments are the building blocks of Lange’s electro-psych-pop dreams. An accomplished producer (he produced Prefuse 73’s Everything She Touched Turned Ampexian) and collaborator (he’s worked with Julianna Barwick and Trey Pollard), Helado Negro promises a minimalist but captivating performance.
