Mint Field announce their new album, Aprender a Ser

Mexico City based psych band Mint Field, made up of vocalist/ guitarist Estrella del Sol and bassist Sebastian Neyra with drum collaborations from Callum Brown (also a member of London's Ulrika Spacek) announce their new album Aprender a Ser.

On the new single, the band said “Sighing is the desire for melancholy. It denotes that something is happening. Sometimes we just need to sigh to let go. Sighing is something we do unconsciously but it says a lot about what is going on inside our mind.”

Director Rodrigo Pérez-Galicia added "An exploration of the different stages of a single verb: 'Suspiro' or 'Sigh'. It's both physiological and a psychological reaction that applies in many emotional stages. It's a punctuation mark for our train of thought. It marks a rhythm in our lively experience. We wanted to capture that feeling when our body demands a 'sigh'" on the visuals.

The band started fleshing out their new album Aprender a Ser (meaning Learn To Be in English), the follow up to 2020’s minimalist psych/shoegaze album, Sentimiento Mundial. For the first time, the band was not under any time constraints in the recording process. They wrote, recorded, produced and mixed the album in isolation, which led to the album being more intimate.

Fast forward to January of 2023. During this period, the band recorded approximately twenty-five more songs and trimmed it down to ten, cohesive tracks that fit conceptually while at the same time trying to evolve their sound.

Tracklist:

1. El Suspiro Cambia Todo
2. Sueño Despierto
3. Nuevo Sol
4. Puerta Abierta
5. Moronas
6. Horizonte
7. Respiro Profundo
8. Orquídea
9. Cinco Días
10. Antes De Que Se Acabe El Año
