Diles Que No Me Maten Announce Escrito en Agua
This Mexico City outfit, Diles que no me maten, has been on our radar for quite some time, we were fortunate to have caught the group and their intoxicating sound at Levitation late last year. That said, it’s hard to tell where their music will go, as it seems more spiritual than musical, immersing listeners in the Spanish poetry and mysticism, with the music playing as the undercurrent. On their newest single, you get a rolling rhythm that provides movement throughout the tune, with the vocals slithering in between the rhythm and the ring of guitar notes on the outskirts of the landscape here. Their new record, Escrito en Agua, is already certainly going to be something you’ll want to spend time with, and I imagine, like their live sets, the music will move and transform beneath you, much as our do the same; the LP drops on June 12th via Moonlight Activities.
Okay, okay. So we didn’t crush it this last week, but I still feel like if you’re looking for a pound for pound playlist of solid hits under an hour, our coverage is primo. We’ve got brand new stuff from We Are Joiners, featuring one of my favorite chorus moments of the last several months. Plus, if you haven’t heard Lola, which I hadn’t, you should fix that before it’s too late. Like me, maybe a subtle guitar pop tune from the New Tigers makes your week, or maybe you want to get swept away in the synth pop of Pet Owner. I’m not sure where to lead you, but I promise there are worst places to spend an hour of your Monday.
