Pink Mexico come from Queens, and they make music that drifts prettily while still crunching hard. Thus far, they landed on our radar with the impressive 2024 tracks "Petting Zoo" and "Soaked," and now they're ready to announce an album. Thus far, we don't really know anything about the band's upcoming LP beyond its title and its lead single, but that lead single knocks.
Today, Pink Mexico released a deeply satisfying astral stomp called "gød wishes he was here." That song is on the Pink Mexico side of a new split, which the band shares with the Brooklyn doom band Pants Exploder. I was previously unfamiliar with Pants Exploder, but I think we can all agree that that's a really, really good name for a band. The Pants Exploder song on the EP is called "you like sabbath dude? yeah? you like the wizzid?," and it rocks really hard.
It turns out that Pink Mexico multi-instrumentalist Grady Walker also sings and plays guitar in Pants Exploder, and his Pink Mexico partner Robert Preston Collum sings backup on "you like sabbath dude? yeah? you like the wizzid?" So I guess I have to start paying attention to this band, too. (Their album III came out last year.) In the Bandcamp alert email about this split, Pink Mexico report that "gød wishes he was here" is the first single from their upcoming LP, which is called what movie ends like this and which is coming out in spring on Sonic Rising. In any case, you should really hear both sides of this new split, and you can do that below.
