Thuthanaka album is a grower for sure, every listen I experience it as less "noisy" interestingly enough, it's as if the layers of the record slowly unpeel.

I forgot to link that they put it on YouTube
Sharing the Los Thuthanaka album for YouTube again for those that missed it:

This is the only official upload of our album outside of Bandcamp.
Enjoy it!
I also wanted to take this time to address some misinformation that I keep getting messages about related to an old project of mine that people on sites like RYM are trying to connect with Los Thuthanaka which is quite misleading.
I had an old project/band called Luna is Honey. Because of some of the years I worked on it, there is a misconception that Elly was a full on member of the band. This is simply not the case.
There is an old article that mentions them as such but it was a misunderstanding due to them being credited as a session player on some old recordings of that project. Mind you, this was in the era of MySpace and handing out CD-Rs at shows (and when I really fetishized doing creative things in the moment without documentation) so naturally the transition into putting things on Bandcamp was a trial and error process in terms of what we wanted to catalog and not.
There are some music nerds who read that old article and used internet archive to look at old faulty Bandcamp credits for recordings and just want to build hype for something they were not a part of. Maybe it’s done out of “completionist love”…who knows. I guess I’m just old-school but that type of thing seems obnoxious and invasive to me.
If you want to listen to an old band of mine, please have at it! But if you’re looking for proto Thuthanaka, it ain’t it. Sorry to disappoint.

“Our new album is self-released today. Finally we get to share this work after years of playing these songs around the world. This marks four decades honoring the sounds passed down to us as kids in ceremony— older than us & older than the state’s folklorization, older than the origin stories the occupying powers created for them.
Mas agua, mas agua— for my guardian chuqi chinchay— q’iwanakax qi’wsanakax utxjiwa the queer people-medicines are here jallalla.”
How would you guys describe this to someone that wasn't familiar with their work?
Here to tell you that the vinyl edition of my 3rd album "Profundo Amor" will be available sometime in June.
For those that have been looking forward to it since the digital/CD versions dropped in '23, thanks for your patience.
For the newcomers, welcome.
A limited run of Los Thuthanaka CD's (with a poster) are coming even sooner than that. We'll have them at some of our upcoming shows this year and will also put some online. Don't miss us!
