the boundary-pushing colombian group returns to soundway records with another unique album: dreamy psych-folk, blending traditional latin rock with tropicalia, and lush string and choral arrangements. meridian brothers’ sound is a huge palette of influences and inspirations. drawing from traditional latin rock (including colombian, argentinian and mexican) as well as brazilian tropicalia, for this album alvarez incorporates string instruments - in particular the cello, both bowed and plucked - a timbre rarely used in his previous works.

the genre-crossing 8-track album is the first of a trilogy, inspired by one of the colombian-native’s local legends jaime llano gonzalez, a colombian hammond organist famous for playing traditional colombian music such as pasillos, bambucos, cumbias, and foreign rhythms such as foxtrots or waltzes, in an ambient style.
the vinyl release includes a download code.
