Los Bitchos return with vivacious psychedelic disco fever dream "La Bomba"
Multinational party starters Los Bitchos return with their latest single “La Bomba,” a Saturday night fever-dream bursting with lavish psychedelia and disco-ready exuberance.
Largely instrumental world music is having a moment, fueled by the meteoric rise of festival-ready genre-benders such as Khruangbin that mine the farthest corners of the globe for exotic sounds not often transmitted on Western frequencies. Where many of their contemporaries are neatly settled into a widely palatable, vibey groove that teeters on the precipice of soundtracking supermarkets and smokeouts in equal measure, Los Bitchos occupy a unique position with their vivacious approach and winking irreverence. The band’s wholehearted commitment to spirited good times is both vital and refreshing, an open invitation for all to a spontaneous beachside bacchanal.
Built upon an insistent, driving rhythm and a jangly surf-inspired riff, “La Bomba” makes a beeline for the dancefloor with surefooted confidence. Latin, Mediterranean, and garage psych influences quickly fall into step with disco-choreographed precision, accented with energetic handclaps as Los Bitchos revel in the celebratory liberation of body, mind, and soul to the irresistible attraction of their intoxicating sonic concoction.
Renowned lensmaster Tom Mitchell directs Los Bitchos as a whimsically bizarre coven of discotheque psychonauts channeling mystical, soft focus weirdness from the other side of the looking glass. Glitteringly kaleidoscopic and tinted with umbral shades of existential unknown, Los Bitchos unleash “La Bomba” with the almost-cartoonish enthusiasm of Jem and The Holograms rolling on psychedelics, leaning full-bore into an otherworldly interpretation of the modern retro aesthetic of neon-lit nightclubs from Mykonos to Bogotá and beyond with an admirable amount of acute self-awareness.
“La Bomba” is out now on City Slang. Stream the track on Spotify and follow Los Bitchos on Instagram.
