Label: Speeedy Records
Maldito Animal is an awesome psych-rock gem. Beto Martinez from Leche House, the Grammy winner behind Grupo Fantasma and others, produced this fourth album that's a mix of African, Italian, and Colombian vibes from their travels.
Compared to Berto’s Banquet, this new album is light on words but when they do sing, like I Love You in Wede Harer Guzo, it hits just right. Mrs. Kind Eyes is a sweet love song with cool basslines, while Máquina Pura rocks with Jack Montesinos's guitar skills. Nico Léophonte and Joe Roddy on drums and keys add a touch of finesse.
At the end....Cumbia de Medianoche blasts the trio off into space, leaving you wondering where their psychedelic journey goes next.
The Point will feature in the upcoming episode of New Voices, on Thursday 8th August with Hannah O'Gorman, where they will delve into their latest album.
