Release Notes:
Ola Podrida began as a home-recording project for
film composer David Wingo (GEORGE WASHINGTON, ALL
THE REAL GIRLS, THE GUATEMALAN HANDSHAKE), who
began writing and recording a batch of songs soon
after moving back to Austin from New York at the
beginning of 2005. Upon completion of the
recordings, he started performing the songs live
with old friends Robert Patton and Matthew Frank,
both of whom moved back to Brooklyn with Wingo in
the fall of 2006, where they are now also playing
with two other old Texas friends, Andrew Kenny
(AMERICAN ANALOG SET) and Johnny Christ. Ola
Podrida's self-titled debut album is being released
by the label Plug Research in the spring of
2007..................."David Wingo's songs at
first seem modest and merely warm - lullabyes,
irons & wines. But what I've found is that the
songs are hot. Behind all that lull is organ churn,
guitar resound, sharp want and skin-on-skin...The
folksy calm lets the songs feel easy, lets them
feel familiar; and yet deep in there, beneath the
easy and familiar songs, is something more than
status quo...If this were a 2006 album, it would be
one of my albums of the year." - SAID THE
GRAMOPHONE............... "They do a great job of
capturing the feelings that characterize the
impossibly wide expanse that is our state. This is
"Texas Music", in the best sense of the phrase...My
first favorite of 2007" - GORILLA VS.
BEAR.................. "The new record is truly
outstanding, a debut full of promise and beauty,
the kind of thing you'll want to listen to over and
over again...If there's any justice in the musical
world, you'll be hearing a lot more of Ola Podrida
in the year to come." - EVERYBODY CARES, EVERYBODY
