The Smooth Sounds Of Tres Leches, LHCC Mart Vol. 1 (White And Yellow “Tres Leches” Vinyl)

Brainfeeder introduces Tres Leches – a trio of heart-wrenching troubadours consisting of Hiatus Kaiyote’s Paul Bender and Simon Mavin, joined by touring band member and long time collaborator Alejandro “Silentjay” Abapo – and their forthcoming album ‘The Smooth Sounds of Tres Leches, LHCC Mart Vol. 1’.

Lovingly recorded and mixed in various hotel rooms on off days of a North American tour, Tres Leches turn the lights down low and reimagine HK classics like “Get Sun”, “Red Room”, “Make Friends”, “Nakamarra” and more to stir passions, ignite the senses and soothe the savage beast within. Originally envisioned as the soundtrack to an imaginary supermarket for Hiatus Kaiyote’s ‘Love Heart Cheat Code’, these sultry and sensual renditions of Hiatus Kaiyote classics soon took on a life of their own.

Hiatus Kaiyote – the quartet consisting of Naomi “Nai Palm” Saalfield (guitar, vocals), Paul Bender (bass), Simon Mavin (keyboards), and Perrin Moss (drums) – has been sampled by many household names including The Carters (Beyoncé & Jay-Z), Kendrick Lamar, Anderson .Paak, Chance The Rapper, and Drake—with whom Nai Palm also collaborated on his Scorpion album. They’ve also received co-signs from celebrated artists including SZA, Kehlani, Willow Smith, and Virgil Abloh, among others. Last fall, Doja Cat covered 'Mood Valiant' single "Red Room" at the Live Lounge in Los Angeles and continued to perform the song across her tour.
