I had the distinct honor and privilege of debuting Mexican Institute of Sound’s new video for “Alocatel” this morning on cnn.com.

In case you don’t know, Mexican Institute of Sound is Camilo Lara, who is also the president of EMI Mexico. Why yes, that is strange and unusual. Here’s how it happened: at the end of the year, Camilo used to make mixed tapes for his friends using the music of his favorite albums from the year. Soon his remixes started getting passed around to other people, and eventually his friends were like “hey, um, yeah, you should, um, do this professionally, and um, yeah, I think you have the connections to make it happen.”

And so it was. [Read a little more about MIS here, where guest blogger Josh Heller of Current Comedy talks about rebajadas.]

Originally MIS had more of an electronic sound, but the latest album “Soy Sauce” defies categorization, and most all of it is live instruments. There are dance songs. There are rock songs. There’s rap, and there’s even a Mariachi tribute to Bittersweet Symphony by the Verve, which is fucking amazing.






See? I told you that was cool. The range of music on this album even goes beyond the polarity of “Alocatel” and “Sinfonia Agridulce.” “White Stripes” is probably the most down and dirty song about a chick with coke snot running down her nose while she dances that I’ve ever heard. And it’s not that the lyrics are that dirty, but the beats are. They are straight up raunchy.

If you’re one of those people that knows and loves music, but find yourself wondering where all the badass, groundbreaking, new stuff is, it’s on Soy Sauce. If you are bored with everything you have and everything you hear, or if you love everything you have and just need that one more album to round out the perfect collection, this is it. Get it here.
