The Altered State of RH+

RH+ is an alt rock band from Chile that just released its U.S. debut Quintana Roo (Nacional Records). They concoct a sound that's as expansive as their country's wildly diverse geography. Hopscotching through the sonic equivalents of their narrow topography of extremes, their ambient, aural landscapes are urban, glacial, and trippy - the last description ties in nicely with the Atacama desert, where the native hallucinogen known as San Pedro (Peyote in Mexico) grows abundantly. RH+'s mind-altering froth isn't as potent as San Pedro, but it's enough to get you fantasizing about being stranded in a desert where shamans once roamed. You can read my entire review of Quintana Roo in Spanish in El Nuevo Herald.
