Simon Threadgate Necio Records are shitbags who took my pre-order for the vinyl and never shipped me a record.

My name's in the damn liner notes as a supporter of the album but they didn't provide a tracking number as per the pre-sale package and then ghosted me when I asked for updates.

The band were just as quiet when approached directly.

In short, fuck this label and fuck this band.

Der Ohlsen "These guys know exactly what they want and execute it perfectly. Retro music, of course, but guaranteed without any dust layer. If - like for me - Brian Ellis' Quipo is one of your personal favorite releases from Necio Records, Rostro Del Sol should also make you happy."

about

The debut Album from Mexico City's Rostro del Sol, is a musical collage of Blues, Jazz, Funk, Progressive and Psych rock from the golden eras of the 60's and 70's, which offers unexpected moments, developed trough diverse sonorities & intensities as the music goes on, each song is intended to tell a history on it's own, just listen and set your imagination free to find the essence inside

The album was recorded between 2019 - 2020, in Rec On Studios on Mexico city, the recording & mixing engineer was Jorge Trejo, and mastering goes by Juan Puget, the insane artwork comes from the Spanish Illustrator Elena Ibañez, and it's an ideollogical collaboration, where we told the artist a few references and we gave her the freedom to express whatever she felt inspired by listening to our music.

El álbum debut de la banda de la CDMX, Rostro del Sol, es un collage musical del Blues, Jazz, Progresivo, Funk y Rock Psicodélico de la época gloriosa de los años 60's y 70's, el cual ofrece un entramado de momentos sutiles e inesperados que se desarrollan por diversas intensidades y sonoridades a medida que avanza el álbum, dejando abierto a la interpretación de quien lo escucha.
Cada canción se creó con el fin de contar una historia por si sola, solo hace falta escuchar y dejar volar la imaginación para descubrir el poder que contienen dentro.

El disco fue grabado entre 2019-2020, en estudios Rec On, en la Ciudad de México, por Jorge Trejo como ingeniero de audio, masterización: Juan Puget, el arte fue hecho por la ilustradora española Elena Ibáñez, está basado en una colaboración ideológica, donde a raíz de cómo suena la música, dimos referencias y rienda suelta a la ilustradora para que plasmara algo en relación a qué ideas le inspiraba escuchar la música.
