about

The following are experts taken from an interview with Jon Graef at the Chicagoist in March 2013. Allá released a 12 song online only album called #feedthedragon volume one” that same year. No Sé Discos is planning a massive reissue and remaster of over 30 unreleased songs from this period.

“Without U,” the closer on Dragon, but the first song to be released publicly, is pure digital soul—what Janet, would have sounded like had Dilla been behind the boards.
If Alla aren’t the future of R&B, then maybe the genre doesn’t deserve a future at all.

Martinez says the band kept the making of #FeedTheDragon as a strictly inter-band activity; in other words, no studios, record label, engineers, outside producers or even guest musicians. Martinez additionally says that guitarist and songwriter Jorge Ledezma had one condition for recording: that no guitars be used.

The results are dramatic. #FeedTheDragon is not so much a reinvention so much as a recalibration of the band’s sound. In contrast to Es Tiempo, an album filled with lush orchestration that helped fueled romantic, Tropicália-influenced pop, Dragon showcases more prominent electronic, hip-hop and soul influences.”
