Pitchfork Recommends Combo Chimbita’s New LP

In a glowing review, Pitchfork writes that “Combo Chimbita are a transfixing live act with dynamic players, and their third album, IRÉ, faithfully captures the band’s powerful presence—even the overwhelming intensity of Carolina Oliveros’ voice, which imbues every word with a metaphysical drama. IRÉ sounds more polished than previous releases; Oliveros’ voice is colossal, surrounded by ghostly, swirling harmonies. They have sometimes seemed hesitant to record anything in the studio that can’t be recreated on stage, but they’re gradually overcoming that hesitation.” Read the full review here.

IRÉ is off to a great start at radio, hitting #1 at NACC Latin last week and getting to new peaks at NACC World and Top 200. Help the record climb higher this week!
