Divino Nino: Last Spa On Earth (Indie Exclusive Colored Vinyl) Vinyl LP
“Divino Niño are no strangers to bold reinvention. When Camilo Medina and Javier Forero—friends whose bond dates back to their childhoods in Bogotá, Colombia—moved to Chicago and recruited guitarist Guillermo Rodriguez to form a band, they were psych-pop outsiders playing live shows with a drum machine. With the addition of drummer Pierce Codina, their 2019 breakthrough and debut LP for Winspear, Foam, solidified their place as local indie rock mainstays. Soon after, multi-instrumentalist Justin Vittori joined to round out their lineup. Once again, with their masterful, unpredictable, and eminently danceable new album, the band has done something radical: They totally upended the way they write songs, eschewing practice room jams for unrelentingly collaborative beats, implied grooves for immersive dance floor heaters, and mellow vibes for frenetic doses of reggaeton, electropop, and trap on their most adventurous and ambitious work to date. Welcome to the Last Spa on Earth. Unlike Foam, which was predominantly English, a majority of the songs are now in Spanish (this offering is one of the few bilingual exceptions on the LP). ‘There’s a reason there’s more Spanish on this record,’ says Forero. ‘We just felt like because that’s our native language, we wanted to bring the band more into our music and that feels more true to who we are.’ Songs like the high-velocity ‘Tu Tonto’ are indebted to the rhythms and attitudes of neoperreo, the woman and queer-led internet subgenre of reggaeton, while others like the bass-heavy ‘Miami’ and ‘Ecstasy’ take their cues from House music and South American trap. Last Spa on Earth is the cathartic product of Divino Niño letting go of their musical preconceptions, past traumas, and future anxieties to embrace change, chaos, and each other’s contributions both to these songs and to each other.” – Winspear
