Kiltro - "Softy"

Image
Photo by Julien Brier We loved the unique blend of Latin rhythms, folk, and dance music we heard in Kiltro's previous two singles, but their latest seems to have come out of nowhere. "Softy" still has all of those elements, but it's both the most mainstream pop of their previous singles while still being the most left-field. The Denver based band have created a song that almost sounds like something that could easily be played on an Adult Contemporary radio station if it wasn't so odd. It's just soaking in too much reverb to ever to considered mainstream, even though Chris Bowers Castillo just has a voice your mom would adore.  You can listen to "Softy" below. Underbelly is due out June 2. For more on Kiltro, check out the band's website . Upcoming tour dates are below the song.

Kiltro - "All the Time in the World"

Image
Photo by Julian Brier Denver's Kiltro got their name for a Chilean word for stray dogs or mutts since they combine many different musical styles in their music. The title of their latest single makes sense once you realize it was recorded in quarantine. "All the Time in the World" has the unique mixture of Latin rhythms, folk, and dance music we became enamored with the first time we heard Kiltro's previous single, "Guanaco." This newest song is a laid back and chilled out affair that is still going to have you needing to move. It's a truly unique sound made up of multiple familiar elements. "All the Time in the World" has this mesmerizing dreamlike element that enchants the listener and has you desperate to hear more. You can listen to "All the Time in the World" below.

Kiltro - "Guanaco"

Image
Photo by Julian Brier Denver's Kiltro have a sound quite unlike other bands that combine Latin roots with mainstream rock. "Guanaco" is a rock song with Latin roots, but Kiltro is just mixing it up differently. There is an intensity to the song without it being particularly loud or heavy. There is a distinct groove that is going to make a listener want to dance and move, even though there is a heavy darkness in the song. The song has an almost electronic element to it, even though it's much more folk. This is an intriguing song that only gets more so with each listen. You'll find something new each time you spin it, so plan on doing so frequently. Chris Bowers (vocals/guitar) says of the band's new song: "A guanaco is a South American animal that is a bit like a llama. It’s known for spitting. In Chile, it has another meaning, and is colloquially used to refer to police vehicles that shoot water at protestors. We wrote this song in the wake of the 2019 pr...
