After their 2006 album, OYE, received widespread popular and critical attention (as well as a Grammy award), the stakes were raised for the band. Aterciopelados met the challenge with 2008's RIO, a successful continuation of their unique blend of new wave, psych pop, and traditional Latin grooves. From the breezy sway of the title track to the nervous angles of "Gratis" to the bright bounce of "Ataque de Risa," RIO is a multi-dimensional ride that is as accessible as it is fresh. | Producer: Hector Buitrago |
