RODRIGO Y GABRIELA Announce New Album, In Between Thoughts...A New World; "Descending To Nowhere" Video Posted; North American Tour Announced

Grammy Award-winning guitar virtuosos, Rodrigo y Gabriela, have announced their landmark new album, In Between Thoughts...A New World, arriving via ATO Records on Friday, April 21. Pre-orders are available here.

Rodrigo y Gabriela’s eagerly awaited follow-up to 2019’s Mettavolution and first full-length collection in four years, In Between Thoughts...A New World arrives as one of the duo’s most revelatory offerings yet - a spontaneously composed unified work primed to bring about the same expansion of consciousness that inspired its creation.

Self-produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela at their studio in Ixtapa, Mexico, the album - which sees the guitar duo expanding their traditional approach to include inventive electronic and orchestral elements - is heralded by today’s premiere of the first single, “Descending To Nowhere”, available now at all DSPs and streaming services. An official music video, directed by acclaimed Mexican filmmaker/broadcaster Olallo Rubio, can be viewed below.

“The video is based on a specific chapter/segment of a storyline written by Rodrigo y Gabriela where a character has a spiritual journey towards non-dualism,” says director Olallo Rubio. “So this video is just a small part of a larger story. They always imagined this world in animation, but we thought it’d be conceptually interesting to start in this dark, bleak, live action world and then enter the animated universe in color. I called artists Andy Butler (British) and Pogo (Mexican), with whom I worked before on a documentary about Alejandro Jodorowsky (the Chilean multi-disciplinary artist) because I knew they’d understand the spiritual/surreal concept we were developing.”

Tracklisting:

"True Nature"
"The Eye That Catches The Dream"
"Egoland"
"Descending To Nowhere"
"Seeking Unreality"
"The Ride Of The Mind"
"Broken Rage"
"Finding Myself Leads Me To You"
"In Between Thoughts... A New World"
