Diggin’ This: BALTHVS – “Aguacero” (Mixto Records)

 

Gloriously psychedelic soul and funk from Colombia.

 

 

 

Balthazar Aguirre, Johanna Mercuriana, and Santiago Lizcano are BALTHVS.

 

 

The Bogotá trio fuse Middle Eastern sounds with lo-fi surf soul on their latest single, “Aguacero.”

 

 

BALTHVS – “Aguacero”

 

 

 

 

 

“Aguacero” is taken from the band’s fourth album, Harvest, out July 19 via Mixto Records.

 

 

 

 

“Harvest is a time of abundance, where our growth as a band has allowed all of us to become full-time professional musicians, more than money or things, having art be your full-time occupation feels like the greatest of blessings and huge responsibility,” says BALTHVS.
