Pepito - The New World

The New World, Pepito's third album, takes the electronic music duo of Ana Machado and Jose Marquez into a candy-colored underworld where pop music legends share Cuban espressos with IDM pioneers and indie rockers offer long, loving back rubs to Hip Hop beatmakers. Written and recorded in just six months, 'The New World' is Pepito's most infectious collection of songs to date, with sure-to-please tracks like the anthemic 'Get Out,' featuring Chris Groves of Citizens Here and Abroad, and the album's namesake, a buoyant cut-up of 80s pop anchored in the none-too-ironic state of the nation. Static Discos. 2005.
