Presented on limited-edition black and clear vinyl. Includes download code. Up In Her Room present the latest offering from Uruguay's Las Cobras! Emerging from the Uruguayan city of Canelones in 2017, Las Cobras introduced themselves with their debut album, Temporal, a nine-track release that quickly became a reference point in global psychedelia after signing with London's Fuzz Club Records. A couple of years later, the duo -- Leandro Rebellato and Sofia Aguerre -- expanded to include Dario Macarín and Diego Mercadal, releasing their second album, Selva. In their debut, Las Cobras blended proto-punk and shoegaze with hints of afrobeat and Tropicalia. With Selva, the band amplified these elements, showcasing their evolving sound. Notably, their track "Al más Allá" is featured in the Amazon Prime series La Cabeza de Joaquín Murrieta. For their third album, Cárcavas, the band explores the concept of the cárcava -- a scar on the earth symbolizing a period of desolation. Teaming up with London label Up in her Room, they present a darker, more chaotic record that reflects the tumultuous years they've endured. Most tracks were mixed by James Aparicio (Depeche Mode, Spiritualized, Throw Down Bones Grinderman), lending the album a sharper, more defined sound. Las Cobras continue to delve into their sonic palette, incorporating electronic drums, Latin percussion, penetrating synthesizers, and fuzzed-out guitars, all from a more stripped-down perspective. "Black Butterfly," for example, is an espectrum of a lost friend. Like a ghost, always in orbit.
