Rodrigo Y Gabriela – Mettavolution (LP Vinyl)
Product Details
The Mexico City-born duo spent years honing their chops busking in Dublin before breaking through internationally, carrying a work ethic forged on the streets into every note they play. Mettavolution finds them at their most ambitious compositionally, stretching their percussive, flamenco-rooted acoustic attack across expansive arrangements that reflect a deep study of both Eastern philosophy and progressive rock. The galaxy vinyl pressing suits the album's cosmic scope.
Three years in the making, Mettavolution brings together Rod and Gab's passionate interest in Buddhism, the history of human evolution and the liberation of the potential we have as a species; all expressed through the medium of two acoustic guitars. Conceived and composed in their studio in Ixtapa on the Mexican Pacific Coast, then road-tested in South America and the USA in 2017, a long list of new material has been distilled down to six new Rodrigo y Gabriela compositions and one audacious, jaw-dropping cover song.
Recorded in Los Angeles, producer Dave Sardy, -- best-known for his work with Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, A Perfect Circle and Band of Horses -- has helped Rod and Gab to a new recording career pinnacle.
