Manifest LP

BALTHVS is a Bogota psychedelic-funk trio, guitarist Balthazar Aguirre, bassist Johanna Mercuriana, drummer Santiago Lizcano, and Manifest is their sixth album, landing after the half-live Transmutations. The record runs rootsy funk into sudden drum-and-bass detours and Ethio-jazz haze like a band refusing to sit still in one groove for long. Lead single "Motion (For Ashra)" rebuilds Manuel Gottsching's Ashra track "Oasis," keeping its melodic bones but running the band's own low-end through it, and Mixto Music is the one putting it out.
