San Gabriel – “Play with Fire”
San Gabriel is the moniker for Texas electro-pop musician James Bookert. The project emerged as the extreme alternate to Bookert’s main band, Whiskey Shivers, a swamp-y bluegrass act that went into hiatus during the pandemic. Since then, San Gabriel has been cranking out blog-friendly singles with the latest “Play with Fire” being no different. Written and recorded in a liquor store in East Austin, the single “Play with Fire” is upbeat big synth-pop sound that could easily be a Chappell Roan track, with Bookert’s hazy vocals over the top. Throw this onto your playlist if you are fan of Goth Babe, Day Wave, or Japanese House. In the meantime, check it out below.
