On today's very special episode of Songmess we are joined by Los Mundos, one of the most exciting bands in Mexican psych. Richard met with Chivo and Luis while visiting Monterrey a few weeks ago, digging into the band's history and inspirations over some beers in their studio.
Chivo once played with indie darlings 60 Tigres while Luis fronted the artsier Piyama Party. Both musicians met over a brief collaboration in 2012, but after discovering an immediate creative chemistry, the two decided to start a band. Los Mundos have released 4 LPs and 4 EPs over 6 years and have crafted an overwhelming signature sound of blaring guitars and crashing drums.
Our conversation with Los Mundos touches on their long road to finding a sound that suits them, the myriad projects, labels and collectives they are involved with (including Abstrakt Muzak and Avandadoom) and the venues and bands they are most excited about in their hometown of Monterrey. The playlist is pretty heavy, so buckle up and enjoy the trippy ride.
