ABOUT THIS ITEM

Guillermo Scott Herren's albums as Prefuse 73 brought him a worldwide audience, critical praise, and inspired a generation of producers. But Herren's first album on Warp, a label synonymous with Prefuse's signature sound, wasn't a 'beat' album, at all but a key introduction to a most intriguing portion of Herren's multi-faceted musical persona: Savath & Savalas. Following two albums over five years on Warp, Herren has chosen to take a fresh approach with Savath & Savalas, releasing "La Llama" on Stones Throw. Herren, with Eva Puyuleo Muns and a new addition to the band, Roberto Carlos Lange, were inspired on "La Llama" by a shared love for South-American psychedelic music and the early 70s independent music scene that had briefly flourished in Recife, Brazil. This is a modern take on Tropicalia.
