Not what I was expecting at all (not heavy)...

Don't mind that. Though it does feel a little like it'll pop up in some SBS OnDemand crime drama where the cop has some kind of family or relationship breakdown, drinks themselves sick one night, then stumbles out of a bar the next morning to find themselves staring at a clear, bright sunrise over that hard ol' city they're trying to make safe again.
 
^ I was thinking more like slowly driving at night with a lot of yellow light and some rain? Heaps of contrasting shadows rolling across the wind screen sort of thing.


I clicked expecting something heavy...

Was just listening back through some MA earlier this week. Wasn't aware that they had new material coming out. This was an all-time fav for me:

Certainly surprised me. I’d heard they were playing some festival gigs but that’s about it
 

I’m kinda obsessed with this at the moment. The first few seconds, when the second horn comes in..

Was walking along a street about 25 something years ago in San Cristobal in Chiapas Mexico (incidentally only 3 weeks after the Zapatistas liberation front had taken over the town at gun point in an indigenous peasant revolution, we had no clue though until after) on St Valentine’s Day. I’d seen Mariaches doing their thing in touristy restaurants but this was like an old back alley street we were wandering in search of more Mezcal) I round a corner and there’s a Mariache group bedazzled in silver down their legs and flowery shirts and pants about to start playing so we stop and look. They start playing and the bigger picture comes into view. They are playing up to a second story window and there is a dude kneeling on the cobblestones with a red rose in his hands looking up at this window. Mariaches play, window opens. A woman looks out in surprise and looks down and sees a Mariache group singing a folk love song to her, her beau on one knee with a rose in his hands and a couple crusty backpackers watching this unscripted scene in disbelief. She started yelling in anger at him in furious and embarrassed machine gun Spanish but eventually the ground floor door opens and I presume the mother is at the door and lets the lad in. Mariaches high five on a job well done and we move off in disbelief at a real unscripted scene of life.
Since that day I’ve had a real soft spot for Mariache music.
