Tribu Announce Círculo Vinyl Release

There is an awful lot to process on Círculo, the debut album from Peruvian experimentalists Tribu, as the record digs into native instrumentation and folk influences, psychedelia, progressive rock and minimalist atmospherics, all the while employing a wide range of guests around the core multi-instrumentalist/vocalist duo of Richard Nossar (Matus) and Yazmin Cuadros. The material ranges from the modern to the ancient, and as in “Todos los Jaguares (Canto para Yana),” finds itself digging into chanting in ceremonial fashion, not so much cult ritual as communion with something beyond the self through music, which I’m pretty sure is how music was invented in the first place. So kudos. Roots psych, maybe?

Tribu released Círculo digitally this past Fall through Catrina Records and have aligned to Clostridium for the vinyl version. 300 copies will be pressed, as the PR wire informs:

TRIBU’s debut album Círculo vinyl release

Bochum based Clostridium Records in association with Lima’s new label Catrina Records proudly announce the worldwide vinyl release of Circulo, the debut album of Peruvian Shamanistic Psychedelic Shoegaze duo TRIBU.

TRIBU, formed in late 2016 by singer multi-instrumentalist Yazmin Cuadros and Richard Nossar of (Don Juan) Matus fame in the archaeological monument Chavin de Huantar, a place which was the religious-administrative center of the Chavin culture, built and inhabited between 1500 and 300 AC.

Circulo uses recorded sounds of over 20 instruments ranging from tribal percussion devises to electric guitars and featuring over 10 guests including members of well known Peruvian bands such as La Ira de Dios, Pax, Matus, El Aire among others.

The album, which earned “record of the year” accolades in Peruvian underground and mainstream media, was originally issued, on CD format only, in late 2018 via Catrina Records, therefore making this the first time the album is available worldwide in analog format.

The LP will be a limited hand numbered edition of 300 copies, pressed on 180g marbled vinyl.
