"“There was never a moment where we felt super stuck,” Lange says. “It was just like 'ok what's next?' and even within the songs, trying to create these micro worlds - we just felt excited about each moment.”"
"Reyna adds, “This particular album really was able to ground me in what movement means to me and just different characters that the range of movement, travel... environment - sun, wind, and water - has the potential to bring out.”"
"The first single from the album is the hazy, groovy, vibey “Tocando,” and you can watch the video below."
"Helado Tropical have a couple West Coast shows coming up this summer, in Los Angeles on August 13 at John Anson Ford Theater, and San Francisco on August 15 at Yerba Buena Gardens. They say more dates will be announced later."
Roberto Carlos Lange (Helado Negro) and Fabi Reyna (Reyna Tropical) met in June 2024 in North Carolina. A plan to record a single song together expanded into a full album. Helado Negro and Reyna Tropical described the process as continuously moving forward, staying excited about each moment and building micro worlds within the songs. Reyna said the album grounded her in what movement means, highlighting characters and the range of movement, travel, and environments shaped by sun, wind, and water. The album, Helado Tropical, is set for release July 17 via Psychic Hotline. The first single is “Tocando,” with a video available. West Coast shows are scheduled for August 13 in Los Angeles and August 15 in San Francisco.
