About :  GUILLERMO SEXO: Reuben Bettsak    Noell Dorsey    Mark Fede    Album: Magic Lanterns-2008    Recorded/Engineered by: Justin Pizzoferrato at Bank Row    Mixed by Justin Pizzoferrato at Woolly Mammoth    Mastered by Jeff Lipton at Peerless Guillermo Sexo is finished with their new album, “Magic Lanterns.” This 13 song, 59 minute long album is “haunting, powerful, and is filled with psych-tinged rock, noisy anthems, and beautiful songs. This album is a headphones masterpiece.. Noell´s powerful, and unique vocals, and intense lyrics, mixed with the band´s varied, and outstanding songwriting focus, make the songs on this album quite memorable. The catchy, dark rock of the last album (Oh Wow-2006) is still heard within some of the songs on Magic Lanterns, but there is more “letting loose, more freakout, and more variety, and darkness. The band recorded this album with Justin Pizzoferatto at his new Bank Row studio, in Greenfield, MA. Guillermo Sexo is already planning two tours, and Noell Dorsey´s incredible range, and and keyboard playing sounding of loud guitars will be heard! Mix that with Reuben´s psych guitar/vocals, and massive array songs, and Mark Fede´s flowing, merciless beats, and you´ve got Magic music.

PRESS: Of all the various band names that get tossed around the local music scene, “Guillermo Sexo” is arguably one of the more fun ones to say. Their vibrant sound, in the line of rhythm-heavy psychedelia, slinks sinuously around on the floor and then suddenly cracks like a Day-Glo bullwhip, leaving neon paint spatters on the walls that won’t soon wash off. Their sound is artistic without being artsy, and they show no signs of slowing down or giving up. “Guillermo Sexo” is as fun to hear as it is to say

Guillermo Sexo Oh Wow A bit of unnecessary background: Theres this video clip floating around Dig HQ. Its taken from the worst porno ever; the girl just sits there, post-money shot, rolling her eyes and halfheartedly mumbling, Oh wow. Oh oh wow. Which is half the reason I was so excited for Oh Wow, the debut from locals Guillermo Sexo. Insider-porn innuendo aside, Oh Wow is some impressive worka load of dark, swirling, jagged indie fare interspersed with Bukowski name-checking, acoustic numbers, and bouts of Spanish- and French-language folk. That doesnt make any sense, but it does over headphones; standouts include the delicate duet Seashell and the relentless yet brutal
