“The human experience is based on contrasting feelings—we know what feeling good is like because we can compare it to the bad moments,” Mike de la Rosa, the oldest of the three brothers from Monterrey who make up LATIN MAFIA, tells Apple Music. “On the other hand, we can process noise only because we are familiar with silence.” On Todos los días todo el día, LATIN MAFIA makes its full-length debut by attacking the conventions of the traditional artistic process, freeing itself from expectations by understanding that meaningful moments will reveal themselves in time. “We see this record as a photograph—an image that has texture, noise, grain—and it can be taken only once,” explains Emilio. There’s honesty in the band’s chaos, and lots of care. (“We love playing with different contrasts and sensations,” says Milton.) Since the release of their first single, the band demonstrated that audio design and fearless disruption are their biggest strengths. Here, they up the ante, infusing every song with a distinct identity without losing sight of the overarching theme. Opening track “Siento que merezco más” begins with the melancholy vibe of a barrel organ and the ambient sound of a distant environment that traverses the stages of a panic attack, until it brings you back around to the beginning. On “nunca he sido honesto,” an ethereal beat leads us on a journey that makes us question our own truth and imposter syndrome. The uncertainty of “pero me estoy acabando” paves the way for the aggressive trap of “sentado aquí” and the punk wrath of “Qué vamos a hacer?” “It was incredibly moving to work on a song and start crying when we finished it,” says Milton. “And feeling so happy that it came out right. But working so intensely is also mentally exhausting.” It took a year and a half to finish the album, and the process became more intimidating when leaked audio snippets became a measuring stick for its success. “Not every single musical piece needs to be put out there,” warns Mike. “Sometimes its function is to help you grow, practice, and develop. Much of what we did led us to the sound that we feel comfortable inhabiting today.” Three years have gone by since the band’s first release, and its current sound and evolution may be regarded by some as an experiment. “We’ve come to the conclusion that we’ve arrived at a more mature phase in our career,” says Emilio. The album title implies the way the brothers perceive themselves: hypersensitive souls who can switch from silence to noise in a second. “It encompasses every single day,” says Milton. “Every day, I can feel great all day long. Or I can feel terrible. Or miss you. Every day, all day long, it’s you.”
