Anáhuac - Y_y (ASTRAL SPIRITS 2018)


Anáhuac's use of minimal objects/percussion, small electronics, extended bass techniques and treated obscure found footage vinyls creates a perplexed sound world shifting from one obscure state to the next with sometimes film like atmospheres. The resulting music arises from a shared interest in an abstracted electro-acoustic aesthetic that is at times densely static and dynamically disorienting. 

Having initially met during the 2015 No Idea Festival in Austin, Texas, Chris Cogburn, Juan Garcia and Ignaz Schick started to work as a trio in Mexico City in 2016. The trio soon embarked on two extensive tours of Mexico (May 2016; October 2017), performing and recording in Mexico City, Morelia, Guanajuato, Puebla, and Oaxaca. 

In August 2018, Anáhuac will arrive to Berlin, Germany to both mix material previously recorded in Mexico and record new material for their upcoming releases on Astral Spirits (November 2018). The trio performs at Petersburg Art Space, Berlin on August 9, 2018. 

This is the first in a series of digital only releases from Astral Spirits, most will be teasers for upcoming releases and in this case, we will be releasing Anáhuac's first two albums -- a CD and cassette featuring different material -- in November 2018.

IGNAZ SCHICK -- turntable, live-electronics
CHRIS COGBURN -- percussion, electronics
JUAN GARCÍA -- double bass
