“J.R.C.G. is Justin R. Cruz Gallego, the Tacoma musician who used to lead the psychedelic Seattle noise-rock band Dreamdecay. For a few years, Gallego has been making music under his J.R.C.G. moniker, and he released his solo debut Ajo Sunshine two years ago.

Lead single “Dogear” is a twisting, buzzing, claustrophobic dance jam that’s both anxious and fun.” -Stereogum

Here he breaks down the tools of his trade.” –Austin Chronicle
