Re-Facto

Mexican psych duo, Lorelle Meets The Obsolete, release a brand EP, Re-Facto. It is intended a companion piece to their fifth album, De Facto, which was released in January 2019. Lead track Fosas Limitadas is percussion heavy with strident synths and choppy guitars, sounding like a mix of Stereolab and Wire, before bursting into a chorus that sounds like the best Spanish psych-pop single you’ve never heard. The other new track, El Olivo, is a lament for the old house they lived in when they first moved to the city of Ensenada in 2017. The EP is rounded out by remixes of two songs from De Facto. CC Crain, aka Cooper Crain from Cave and Bitchin Bajas turns Lux, Lumina into a disturbing dub noise, like Broadcast covering PiL’s Metal Box, while Pye Corner Audio sets the epic Unificado adrift on a sea of analogue synths.
