Album Notes & Community Reviews

Produced by Mitchell Froom, the East Los Angeles veterans' critically acclaimed release pushes their traditional roots-rock into profoundly surreal, deeply atmospheric territory. The highly inventive production infuses their Mexican-American folk foundation with hazy psychedelia, weird instrumentation, and vivid, cinematic storytelling.
