1st SINGLE FROM DEBUT ALBUM
OUT ON NOVEMBER 24th
STREAM/SHARE HERE
Vancouver psych Latin fusion group Los Duendes are pleased to announce the release of their new single 'Coleslaw' out now on all digital streaming platforms. Listen here.
'Coleslaw' is the lead single from Los Duendes' debut album Me Recuerdas, which is set for release on November 24th. It's a vibrant, upbeat track that showcases the band's masterful musicianship and is the perfect example of the way they combine different influences to create original and captivating music.
"This song was originally born out of a rhythm based on 16th notes grouped in 19," says guitarist Seb Chamney. "Once the rhythm was mastered by the band, the other sections of the song were composed based on melodies characteristic of classic 1960s Chilean Cumbia."
Vocalist Sangito Bigelow adds: "Seb showed up one day with this odd meter rhythm played by the bass and guitar as a unison melody travelling in opposite directions. This compositional device was cleverly designed to build tension, bringing the song to its inevitable boiling point. And then Seb, live in studio and in one single clinical take, delivers a spectacular guitar solo to the bewilderment of everyone in the room. This vocal hook had come to me while driving home one day, and over the instrumental it’s almost sinister sounding, calling out to grab your hat and come work in the fields as Toto Berriel sings folkloric improvised pregónes. The song as a whole is frankly just nasty, like chopped cabbage slathered in mayonnaise."
'Coleslaw' is available now on Spotify, Apple Music/iTunes, and other digital retailers and streaming services worldwide. For more information, please visit losduendesmusic.com.
