Jesca Hoop – The best singer that Ale saw perform in 2010
Washed Out – The soundtrack for two glorious chillwave summers (both hemispheres)
Beach House – bending guitars
Mucho Indio – For before and after each one of our concerts. The album most listened to in 2010!
Fool’s Gold – Brings joy to any apocalyptic moment. Highly recommended for these times. Alegra cualquier momento apocalíptico.
Chancha Via Circuito Love bloomed on the dance floor
Mount Kimbie – The kings of dubstep EQ

It’s been such an epic year of growth, travel, music and collaborations! Thank you so much for listening and co-creating with us.

Because of the generosity and trust of many of you, we have reached and exceeded our funding goal for the project with Vincent Moon in Colombia!! We are so grateful and humbled by people’s response and desire to part of this.

We start our travels through Colombia in March, 2011. Meanwhile, we will be in Argentina, working on new music.
