Mondo Infiel Announces Lineup for Debut Album Poliedros
There’s no audio yet, so don’t ask. I got a quick listen to some of Mondo Infiel‘s Poliedros album, and given some of the personnel involved in its making — members of Arenna, Atavismo, friggin’ Isaiah Mitchell from Earthless popping in because I guess why not, and so on — the sound is maybe surprisingly terrestrial. Earthy more than cosmic. Still one you want to watch for, however, and something of an achievement in logistics even before you get to factors like songwriting, performance, and so on.
The great irony of Mondo Infiel, of course, is that even though the list of personnel surrounding apparent-spearhead Adolfo Alcocer runs 17 strong, this is still a quarantine-era project, and something that probably wouldn’t have come about in this way if there had never been a pandemic lockdown to force the hand of creativity in such a way. I’m not saying the pandemic’s effect on 2020 was a good thing, just that the concept and execution of Mondo Infiel and the resulting Poliedros LP stand as another example of the persistence of art, such that even in enforced isolation, one can and will still find a way to reach out and speak creatively through collaboration. Do you understand how fucking beautiful that is? I hope so.
I don’t have a release date on the record, but I’ll hope to have more on it before it’s out. Spinda Records is standing behind the release, as one would hope.
Here’s the lineup:
