***The Space Rock of the Chileans meets the Dub of the Argentines! First-time on vinyl reissue of the 2014 meeting between these two South American underground favorites. While touring Chile in 2014, Nairobi joined The Ganjas at BYM Studios for an unforgettable session that brought this recording, which boasts intricate rhythms, sumptuous keyboards, and soaring guitars—loaded with elastic grooves, disembodied vocals, and deep bass lines. The album itself revisits the past while also looking to the future. The songs are particularly creative—the Bob Marley & The Wailers cover ‘The Heathen’ is totally revitalized here—and other passages like ‘Pastor’ and ‘Eagle & Snake’ travel through an incredible mix of styles, brilliantly blending Trip-Hop, Dub FXs, and even Brian Jones-esque style slide guitar. Another song, ‘Soul Salvation,’ brings a steady reggae beat with a genius saxophone line from Ignacio Czornogas (King Krule). Mastered by Cem Oral at Jamming Masters (Berlin).
