Las Malas Amistades — ‘the bad influences’ — are from Bogota, in Colombia; Maleza is their third album for Honest Jon’s. Lovingly assembled, it presents twenty 8208;eight exquisite variations of suadade, in an acoustic, post 8208;punk take on Tropicalismo — knockabout, impromptu, snapshot and sublime.
‘… kind of like if the Young Marble Giants sang in Spanish and didn’t fully know how to play…pretty great’ (Vice)
'... deliciously haunting... rekindles the spirit of DIY that their British counterparts have so patently forgotten' (The Times)
'one of the most charming idiosyncrasies I have heard all year... where truth is seized accidentally and musical shambles are sweet, virtuous and silly... like watching early Bunuel without subtitles' (Plan B)
