CDMX and Hermosillo, Mexico-based experimental trio Meth Math shares their single “Axila,” the final offering from their debut album Chupetones which arrives this Friday via In Real Life.

Chupetones will also include the previously released singles “Mantis,” and “Myspace,” which was highlighted as one of The FADER’s Songs You Need In Your Life, along with collaborations with Nick León (Rosalia, Denzel Curry), Daniela Lalita (Mura Masa, Ashnikko), and ZAH.
Additionally, Meth Math will be performing a string of headline shows in the United States slated for this April.

On May 9th, Meth Math will be performing at the Nuits Sonores festival in Lyon, France. Full tour routing and ticket details can be found below.
Chupetones has been highlighted in them. and Stereogum‘s highly-anticipated 2024 albums lists to start the year, crystalizing the tangible excitement for a full-length project from the trio. The album cements Meth Math’s lead amongst this boundless new generation of Latin artists and builds on the dichotomy the Mexican trio has always existed in: a gothic party that plays between the sacred and the profane, between neo-perreo and new-age emo. The nine songs that make up this new collection are at once odes to heartbreak and invitations to the deep darkness of a post-apocalyptic club.
Created with a freeform mentality that focused on capturing the essence of the moment rather than preconceived intention, the trio each brought quirky stories and new inspirations to the drawing board in recording sessions across Hermosillo and Mexico City. The result is a collective embodiment of the three of them and the raucous, dream-like party that only they could dream up with the help of collaborators like Nick León, Daniela Lalita and ZAH.
Since the release of their Pompi EP in 2020 and m♡rtal EP in 2022, Meth Math has paved their own lane of shadowy and experimental reggaeton and electronica. Comprised of the aforementioned vocalist Ángel Ballesteros and the producers Error.Error and Bonsai Babies, Meth Math has established an aesthetic all their own and collaborated with electronic contemporaries like Sega Bodega, Machine Girl, Dinamarca, Blue Rojo and more. Last year, Meth Math performed at the iconic Boiler Room: New York City, which was curated by Shayne Oliver (Anonymous Club, Hood By Air), alongside Bladee, Ecco2k, and Baby Sosa, in addition to making their Mexican festival debut at Ceremonia.
