about

This track began with a camping trip with Familia Veryka in the mountains of Guanajuato, mx. We were camped in a cave, hunting mushrooms, and celebrating a band member's birthday. In the evening, jesse was playing his acoustic bass by the campfire, while the frogs and crickets kept a perfect skank backbeat. I asked him to listen to them while he played, and we recorded the core of this song. Later, I went to a festival of pre-hispanic instruments in Posos, mx, having heard there were instruments that made the sound of the wind (wind being impossible to record). We got there late as the festival was ending, and went walking through the countryside, where we found old ruins. The snare drum was recorded by dropping boulders into a super deep well, and the risers were recorded by sitting at the bass of an old mesquite tree, sheltered from the wind by the ruin walls, but recording the sound of it rushing through the mesquite branches. The kick sound began with a cuban girlfriend's heartbeat in Habana.
