Tres Leches The Smooth Sounds of Tres Leches, LHCC Mart Vol. 1 ("TRES LECHES SWIRL" Cream & White Marble)
What started out a joke for a truly demented promotional campaign became so much more…originally envisioned as the soundtrack to an imaginary supermarket in the album promo for Hiatus Kaiyote’s “Love Heart Cheat Code”, these sultry and sensual renditions of Hiatus Kaiyote classics soon took a life of their own. And thus was born Tres Leches, a trio of heart wrenching troubadours who aren’t afraid to turn the lights down low and set the mood to “sexy”. Lovingly recorded and mixed in various hotel rooms on off days of a North American tour, these raunchy re-imaginings of Hiatus Kaiyote’s back catalogue are certain to stir the passions, ignite the senses and soothe the savage beast within. So for all the lovers out there, let tonight be the night you surrender yourself to Tres Leches. Tres Leches consists of Hiatus Kaiyote members Paul Bender & Simon Mavin and touring member SilentJay. The trio reimagine Hiatus Kaiyote classics like "Nakamarra", "Red Room", "Make Friends" and more. With the one year anniversary of Hiatus Kaiyote's latest album, Love Heart Cheat Code upon us and the band heading back out on their latest North American tour, the timing is perfect to enjoy these smooth sounds.
