New Mexico (née Apes of Wrath) will be self-releasing their debut LP, Malpais, on Tuesday, April 23.
The album deviates from their ornate and melodic Have You Met My Friend? EP (2010) and instead invokes a more mechanical, new wave/post-punk aesthetic on single “Alpha Male.”
“Their new record, Malpaís, is the result of many things,” the press release reads, “--a bad breakup with a girl, a new recording technique using Otari 16-track one-inch tape, and Robert Kent's newfound fascination with Aldous Huxley's Brave New World--but it is mostly the result of a band finally coming into it's own."
