about

In 2010 Allá began work on what was to be their second full length album Feed The Dragon (FTD) after 2009’s Digs (ep) and 2008’s Es Tiempo (album) both released on legendary Belgian label Crammed Discs. Feed The Dragon is a massive departure from the trailblazing “Latin Psychedelia” of Es Tiempo, a genre Allá unknowingly kicked into the collective unconscious for future generations to exploit. Why the radical departure into the electronic sampladelic pop experiments of Feed The Dragon? Let us explain.

A chance encounter in 2008 with Lupe’s Fiasco’s producer (which yielded a still unreleased collaboration) and meeting Flying Lotus backstage at 2010s inaugural North Coast these two events completely changed the trajectory of the group.

“Because” was written and produced in 2010 and was one of the first batches of songs Allá shared with their label and PR company at the time. By the way, this same PR company was representing Wu-Tang, Odd Future, Frank Ocean, Little Dragon and NIN. That is a whole other story. They all passed on it. And the final last words from our publicist in 2010 was “I have no idea how to market this music anymore, people will understand Allá in twenty years”.
