[PRE-ORDER] Manifest [LP]

Manifest is the fifth studio album from BALTHVS and the most expansive record the Colombian trio has made. Written and developed primarily in the studio following a retreat to a rural farm outside Bogotá, the eleven-track LP balances five road-tested singles with six new recordings that reach further than anything in the band's catalog.

The album marks a pivotal chapter, shaped in part by the return of bassist Johanna Mercuriana after the birth of her first child. Reuniting with guitarist and producer Balthazar Aguirre and drummer Santiago Lizcano in the Colombian countryside, she brought a fresh perspective the band describes as a creative renaissance. Where Transmutations documented BALTHVS on the road, Manifest turns inward: intentional creation over reinterpretation, eleven entirely new compositions that push past psychedelic rock into drum and bass, Ethio-jazz, disco, and trip hop, with a heavier rock drive underneath.

BALTHVS has amassed more than 140 million streams, performed in over 26 countries, earned a Libera Awards nomination, and played Electric Forest, Austin City Limits, Outside Lands, Lollapalooza, Jam Cruise, and SXSW Sydney. The band supports the release with a US fall tour running October 8 through 25, including Cervantes Denver, The Regent Los Angeles, and The Independent San Francisco. Pressed on orange splatter vinyl in a full-color gatefold jacket with hermetic text artwork and a printed obi strip. Limited to 2,000 units.
