Los Blenders, “Punta Diamante”
As the crisp chill of fall descends upon the Northern Hemisphere, and night advances earlier in the day, Mexico City goth rockers Los Blenders make for an especially fitting soundtrack. The group released their new post-punk LP Mazunte 2016 on Friday.
In a Latin music landscape dominated by dembow, it doesn’t hurt to shred every once in a while. Mexico City players Los Blenders tell a gothic post-punk tale about getting extorted by a policeman — a scene that’s all too common in Mexico. “Don’t disappear us,” pleads singer Archie Archer in Spanish. “We just wanted to have fun.” The song is featured on their upcoming third studio album, Mazunte 2016, out September 25th.
