ABOUT MATEO BRISCOE AND THE SLOTHBOIS
From the vibrant music tapestry of Sacramento, the enigmatic figure known as the Local Sloth Boi, Mateo Briscoe, emerges as a compelling singer-songwriter, a maestro of melodies, and a lyrical craftsman. Described by his closest ally, Molly Landis, as a fusion of "Sugar, Spice, and Gay Pop Music," Briscoe draws inspiration from legends like Queen, Amy Winehouse, The Fray, and The Killers, weaving sonic landscapes that echo the vibes of Quinn XCII, Jaymes Young, The Early November, and Bastille.
Briscoe's journey took a significant turn in 2019 when he penned the evocative track "One Day" for the short film "Lover Girl," an effort that not only secured a victory at Portland's film festival for Best Rom Com, but has since amassed over a million views on YouTube, resonating with a global audience. Fast forward to 2022, Briscoe released the mesmerizing "Insane" accompanied by his inaugural fully produced music video, a visual masterpiece directed by the talented Chris Brice. The release garnered praise from Indie Band Guru, Indie Pulse Music, York Calling, and Essentially Pop, establishing Briscoe as a rising force in the indie music scene.
