*150 copies limitede edition* Originally released on Umor Rex on cassette a year ago, “El Sol de los Muertos” deeply shaped the evolution and vision of Mexican producer Concepción Huerta’s sonic work, becoming a reference point for a kind of experimental sound deeply connected to Latin American critical thought.

“La Onda Pesada” (1971) by Ernan Roch showcases the most experimental side of Mexican rock of the era, blending blues and psychedelia, with Hendrix-style guitars driven by powerful fuzz riffs, alongside more folk oriented passages and deeply poetic lyrics. This album has become one of the most coveted titles among collectors due to its outstanding musical quality and the fact that it suffered the consequences of the persecution of Mexican rock, which prevented it from being properly circulated a…

*300 copies limited edition* Mexico City trio Mengers have been threatening to detonate for years. Across their first two albums—Golly’s simulated-chaos ruminations and i/O’s desolate drift—they turned existential dread into a combustible punk language: jagged guitars, convulsing rhythms, lyrics like condensed panic attacks. With Flavio, their third studio album and most adventurous yet, they finally make good on that threat. It’s a record that doesn’t just expand their sound—it completely reima…

Amazing find! ** Original copies of this wonderful 1985/86 releases. ** Two essential documents from the Mexican underground of the mid-1980s, now available together. Rolando Chía's Sara Juega Y...

*100 copies limited release* Elevator Bath is thrilled to present the first solo vinyl LP from Concepción Huerta, highly accomplished multidisciplinary artist from Mexico who employs tapes to manipulate recordings of everyday objects and electronic instruments. The fruit of these experimental methods is an intense, heavy take on dark ambient and noise music: a densely atmospheric exploration of sound driven by narrative, more akin to storytelling than songwriting. “The Earth Has Memory” was reco…

Tip! Limited edition of 50. Mexican visual and sound artist Concepción Huerta and Peruvian composer and flutist Camilo Ángeles, started working together on a collaborative duo in early 2018 in Mexico City. The music of this project is crafted by the coalition of these two artists' personalities and sound aesthetic approaches, resulting on constructions of extensive sound spectrums that mutate very slowly evoking imaginary landscapes to contemplate through their spatial and dreamlike sound narrat…

*Limited edition of 100 copies.* Mexican sound artist Concepción Huerta is also a skilled photographer and video artist, and all of these aptitudes come together in the kinematic elements of her musical thesis. Her narrative seems to be an uninterrupted communication with movement as an axis: it pauses and falls with cadence at some moments; it agitates in disturbance at some others. But one movement perpetually crosses the other, even if sometimes imperceptibly. Her sound work evokes displaceme…
