Since they shook up the scene with their Space Mambo (PENN 005CD) in 2014, The Limboos haven't stopped touring and reinventing themselves. However, it is in their fourth album, Off The Loop, where they inaugurate a new cycle that confirms the restlessness and nonconformity of the band in the search for their own sound. How to define Off the Loop? The nine songs and 35 minutes of music included here reflect this broad perspective: lysergic passages, baroque pop, and beautifully crafted psychedelia intertwine with cinematic atmospheres, fuzz guitars, galactic keyboards and unique arrangements. In short, The Limboos' sound has reached a place you never suspected. It's time for you to discover it.

Is good music good for anything? Well, you are supposed to connect to it. Make you dance. Feel happy, sad, fearless, in love, jealous and righteous and so much more. And hit you like five coffees in the morning and a few shots of cognac at night. The Limboos just perfected the recipe on their new album, Baia. The Limboos do what they wanna do. They know what they like and they know what you like even though that might be two different things. They work in their own rhythm and it's proven you can move to that rhythm. Everybody lost a few bucks at the end of the night but nobody cares. Everybody woke up a little tired and achy and didn't feel like going to work. But they did and did it even harder the next three times that week. Lucky you caught them on a Monday night. With Baia, their third album in five years, The Limboos will transport you, without asking, to a sweet and viscous spiritual ceremony that crosses paths between Chicago from Santiago de Cuba. This new one again produced by Mike Mariconda and with 100% of their own songs you get eleven new lessons in class and sweaty elegance. Check the single "Where Did She Go?" and see. You'll just dance and maybe fall down from exhaustion and make you do things you swore you would never do. Ignoring this rotten postmodern world, they don't try to transport you to when the times were better. They are just making better times- show by show, record by record. So you got lucky and found something you can listen to in the car, the bar, the barn, at work and even on public transport. But if you choose the last one beware for pickpockets, it's worth more than the cash you are carrying. The Limboos are: Roi Fontoira - vocals, guitar; Sergio Alarcón - organ, guitar, percussion, backing vocals; Daniela Kennedy - drums, backing vocals; Santiago Sacristán - double bass, backing vocals; Dani Niño - baritone sax.

LP version. Something unusual and unpredictable always seems to happen right under our very noses. And on such a rare occasion you could brag about colliding with a group as magnificent as The Limboos. They are unusual because you usually cannot hear a current R&B band with so much musical talent and, in turn, sound different from all the rest. And unpredictable because their knowledge and devotion to the greats of the genre is reflected in all of their songs, all originals written by them. Inside them is a special secret gift that combines rhythm and elegance to the nth degree. The Limboos emerged out of nowhere four years ago. Within a few weeks, they recorded a single, took the road and have not stopped gyrating and motorvating. The band has been tightening up their "Exotic Rhythm & Blues" with a series of unforgettable shows. Their first album Space Mambo (PENN 005CD/LP, 2014) caught everyone by surprise, and their songs and live shows engulfed all audiences, adding fans beyond the rock and roll circuit. In this second album, Limbootica!, the band continues its journey to the heart of the rhythm, a journey to the center of the best roots music, investigating and growing at every turn of the road. To this masterful rhythm and blues formula with Latin influences, here they add a few shots of gospel and swing ("No Troubles", "I Don't Buy It" or the hypnotic "Been Whole A Lot Time"), a clever mix of tropical and soul ("Lies"), and their underived tribute to the Brazilian bossa, the exquisite "Blue Dream". They channel Cuba in "Crazy Rumba" and have you stumbling down the crawfish stinking streets of New Orleans, exhaling rum while hugging a streetlight on "Calypso Drunk ". The magnificent songs and the incontestable musical style of these twenty-somethings, with scathing production of Mike Mariconda for the final knock-out punch. A more realized document and executed with even more conviction than in the previous disc, incorporating new instruments and extending the horizon of each subject with arrangements you just don't see nowadays. Get it before it gets you. The Limboos are: Roi Fontoira - vocals, guitar; Sergio Alarcón - organ, guitar, percussion, backing vocals; Daniela Kennedy - drums, backing vocals; Santiago Sacristán - double bass, electric bass, backing vocals; Dani Niño - baritone sax.

And unpredictable because their knowledge and devotion to the greats of the genre is reflected in all of their songs, all originals written by them. Inside them is a special secret gift that combines rhythm and elegance to the nth degree. The Limboos emerged out of nowhere in 2013.

Critics have catalogued The Limboos as one of the freshest and most original proposals you can see anywhere on stage. The band slightly modified its line-up in late 2015 and is now a quintet including baritone sax and double bass. Two sides, two numbers, one for each aspect of their personal sound: "I Need Your Lovin'" is an upbeat R&B number that will have the dance floors jumping, while "I'm A Fool" is a mid-tempo offering in which the group leans in masterly fashion towards the sounds of soul and blue beat.

Write a fistful of cool songs, recruit the right musicians, practice a lot, make a great single, get a van and wait for the phone to ring. That's the old formula which all "would-be-somebodys" in this business continue to use. But it always seems to fail at some point, usually the phone ringing part. But The Limboos worked this strategy perfectly. Within months, and only on the merit of one single, the band has garnered tremendous reviews, turning the road into their home and the scene into their office. On this album, their first LP, they sharpen and expand on the sound defined on their 45 RPM single debut -- that mixture of R&B and Latin rhythms, aptly described as "exotic rhythm and blues," continues to prevail. But the 12 songs on the LP stretch out into deeper territory -- old school New Orleans second line (the single from the album, Big Chef) or gutbucket '50s Texas blues ("Rockin'") combined with Cuban rhythms ("Space Mambo," the title-track) or Brazilian cumbia ("Brownie"). All beautifully thrown into a blender, making it the national cocktail of a place you would damn sure want to live, if that place even existed. Talent, attitude and energy -- these are the three ingredients that define The Limboos to perfection. Above all, they are elegant and adept at any language they speak. Coupled with the profound production of Mike Mariconda, Space Mambo is noticeably fresh in comparison with much of today's music and a unique listening sensation.
