Y La Bamba - Oh February

Here’s the beautiful opening title track from Portland based sextet Y La Bamba‘s new EP Oh February, released last Tuesday via Tender Loving Empire. The effort was produced by The Decemberists’ Chris Funk, who had already produced Y La Bamba’s 2010 debut album Lupon.
Oh February is a “a sultry cross genre dream accented by lush guitars, lively accordian and expert percussion” as the label describes, featuring “6 songs of mexi-influenced folk americana”.

Earlier in January, Y La Bamba dropped a video to accompany the marvelous cut ‘Michoacán’, lifted from their second album Court The Storm, out last year. Andrew Sloan directed it and you can watch it straight after ‘Oh February’.
