Chicago quintet Dos Santos tell us about making their new album, 'City Of Mirrors.' 'We always recognize that we’re not just making this music, but we’re making it in a specific and situated way: As Latinos in the U.S.'
at the border, the separation of families, all of that violence throughout the United States against Latinx communities,” Chavez says on a recent Zoom call. As they were finishing the album last year, the pandemic started. “There’s no way if you’re making art that your mind isn’t going to go there and that those things aren’t going to be dragged into view,” Chavez adds. “There was no moment that wasn’t a moment of crisis.
At a literal level, when we were making this record, there was a lot going on, which continues today. We just saw everything with theat the border… That was part of what was informing us, at least lyrically. And then no less, Covid is happening, and everything is sort of cascading. Even towards the end, when we were beginning to mix the record, everyone is taking to the streets in the wake of the George Floyd killing. That struggle also has to do with borders: Not the literal U.S.
Compared to when you were flying solo before, how did working with Elliot change the sound of the record?It gave it a completely different character. It’d be disingenuous for me to say that I anticipated the ways that that would happen, because I had no idea. I don’t think anybody did. We respected Elliot as an artist, like Nathan mentioned, and we knew that it would be an adventure.
