Los Straitjackets Somos Los Straitjackets (CD)

America's favorite masked guitarists, Los Straitjackets, are back with Somos Los Straitjackets, their first album of original material in over a decade.
Somos Los Straitjackets channels the eternal spirit of surf rock while riding its own distinctive wave: fifteen tracks full of twangy riffs. From the sun-scorched intensity of “Polaris” to the funky pull of “Two Steps Ahead,” Somos Los Straitjackets is a sonic adventure that captures the freedom, danger, and endless horizon of a band at its creative peak.
Tracks like “Spinout” and “High Wire Act” show why Los Straitjackets have reigned as kings of modern instrumental rock for over thirty years: with shimmering tremolo, relentless drum grooves, and hooks so catchy they don't need lyrics to stick in your head. Somos Los Straitjackets is a love letter to the golden era of surf rock and, at the same time, a bold ride into uncharted waters—produced with a touch of vintage but packed with fresh intensity.
