"El Perro" began as improvisations inspired by three of Francisco Goya’s Black Paintings - "An Old Man and a Monk", "The Drowning Dog" and "The Fates". The improvisations served as a skeleton for the band to build upon, working the material into a more cohesive and cultivated musical statement.
The only text on the record is a quote from Goya himself:
"There is no need for color
There is only light and shadow"
Recorded in Berkeley, CA, Beverly, MA and Phoenix, AZ between 2021 and 2023.
Mixed and mastered at Sunset Mastering.
