Thumbnail. Click to enlarge.
Chicano Batman. Psychedelic doo-wop. Twisted tropicalia. Sophomoric soul. Bi-lingual goofballs playing wedding band music on acid. Laidback Latin grooves to waste your entire summer to. More fun than any other record you've heard so far this year. Listen here.
In case anybody would like a more permanent version, I'm in the process of providing one. PM me if you're that way inclined...

Just listened to it, it's a good album; I really enjoyed it. It is exactly how Lethal described it. Good pick.

Lethal, man, you surprise me sometimes. Don't think our "cores" arent similar at all, but I saw your country chart today and really like it, and now I've been listening to this and also enjoy it, very much.
I'll have to start paying your stuff a little more mind.
nice work, thanks!

Enjoyed this quite a bit. Relaxing, but still fun to listen to and will keep you interested. Plus, the instrumentation was pretty impressive. I think the album was a little long, but just barely, not enough to detract from the album that much.

This was a nice album. Really relaxing, cool atmosphere all throughout. I thought they did a really good job of mixing the Latin base with a kind of psychedelic soul vibe that permeated the album. I do agree with Rocky that it felt a bit too long for what it was doing, but at no point did I find myself not enjoying it. I'll have to listen to it again sometime in summer at a pool or something, that feels like the proper atmosphere for this album.
I've been falling behind a bit lately on these. I'm gonna try and hear Saoirse's sometime this week too, and I'd heard the Angel Olsen one a while back so I'm good on that. Want to be able to contribute to the discussions while they're active though, so I gotta get on that. Good for this week though, and it was such a pleasant listen too.

Here's a review I wrote of the record. It's only brief and the crux of it is in the OP, but have a gander anyways. Glad to see people are enjoying it.
