So, how did you meet up? What has your relationship been like since?

Diles: We found Gal Go's second album (Gal Go Grey) and got immediately into it. We're always searching for music in Spanish with impacting lyrics and this was just the case. Back then, we messaged him about playing a show together in CDMX but he wasn't touring at the moment. One year later, Geronimo (guitarist) met Lau while in NY, who's friends with Galgo, and we started plotting to organize a concert together. Anyways ... Pitchfork Mexico had us on their lineup the same day as King Krule so we met backstage that day. And the next day we were rehearsing at Tlatelolco. Three days later we had an amazing concert at Teatro Lucido which is now on YouTube. The concert went so well that we took the show to San Diego, Tijuana, and Mexicalli, and those went even better!

Gal Go: On my side it was Lau that kept on insisting that I check Diles out, she knew we had a lot in common from day one, and I’ll be always grateful for her insistence.

You went on tour together last year, right? Any good stories from the road?

Galo Go: Those concerts together were something else, how we diffused the division between each project and seamlessly mixed our sets is something you don’t find that often when you go see bands; I feel like the way we understand space in music is complementary of each other, and it’s a gift that we got to share so much in the last year.

Diles: At one point we were with Galgo and our friend Lau at Black Rock Beach in San Diego and we were supposed to play in Tijuana later that night. We were playing flutes and it was pretty fun so we lost track of time and our engineer decided to take a shower (water is very important for her). Suddenly we noticed that the soundcheck was in 30 minutes and that it was in another country and that we were really stupid. Obviously, we arrived three hours late and Galgo got fined for being Argentinian at the border. Later that night we got really drunk and Jonás got up and sang at Latino's, a famous trans bar in Tijuana, along with an impersonator of Rocio Durcal, and it was a disaster. We don't have any memories after that incident.

Tell us about the video that we are featuring today.

Diles: This video is about a man rambling his own mind as well as dragging himself around the streets of Mexico City. Tortured by glimpses from a life on the road and a lost love. Funny thing is Jonas learned to spitfire especially for the video inspired by a girl in Tijuana that did it during our show.

Gal Go: Yes, it’s an idea by Emilio Pichardo, whom I also met that same day I met Diles at the Fronton de Buraceli. It was shot on film, and we were submerged in the night of Mexico City.
