Allá Release First New Song In Four Years, Promise Two Albums In 2013

Romantic psychedelic pop band Allá, who, in 2008, released a fabulous album of electronic and tropicalia infused psychedelia called Es Tiempo, recently released their first new song in four years, titled "Without U." Further, the band writes that it will release two albums worth of new music in 2013.

Though the band is well known for taking their time making an album -- having spent seven years scrimping and saving to make Tiempo on their own -- their considerable efforts are well worth it for music fans.

"Without You" is a gorgeous, lush blend of electronic and pop textures, effortlessly reminiscent of acts like micro hip-hop producer J. Dilla, "That's The Way Love Goes"-era Janet Jackson, and, of course, the band's masterful past work.

The band has been hashtagging "Feed The Dragon," presumably the album from which the song is taken, while hyping "Without U." If this song is any indication of where the band is headed with their new albums, then that means there's a lot about which to be excited.

Stream or download "Without U" below. The band says they will release another new song if "Without U" receives 500 plays. So hop to it.
