""This record is bigger and more expansive than anything we've done before. In writing this music, I tried to get closer to the feeling and sound of our live shows, which is where Downtown Boys is best experienced.""
""We as the people have the power - and we will have it all. The ultimate burn to injustice is taking the dirt, the shards, the smoke of it all in the struggle for freedom and liberation - finding power in the mundane - I think that is the story to be told.""
""The video was inspired by the aesthetic of 'chicha' - a music culture out of Peru that is also about economics, work, partying, life, desire, and nightlife. The ethic, as put by one Chicha musician, Chacalón, is two words: chamba and vacilón (hard work and partying).""
Downtown Boys announced their new album, Public Luxury, set for release on June 26 via Sub Pop. This album is their first in nine years, excluding their soundtrack for Miss Marx. Co-produced by Joey La Neve DeFrancesco and Seth Manchester, the album aims to capture the energy of their live performances. Themes of power and liberation are central, with the first single 'No Me Jodas' accompanied by a video inspired by Peruvian chicha music culture. The album features eleven tracks, including 'The City Begins' and 'Viva La Rosa.'
