Living Undercover

Héctor Zarate

"At first, the title might make you think about high speed chases (by foot or motorized), intelligence agencies, guns and 'fancy karate gimmicks' in a city full of compact cars and sinusoidal police sirens. That's great! I love the idea. But underneath this thrilling approach, this release is also about a particular sensation when traveling, about how theatrical our daily lives can be.

I came to notice, particularly when traveling, that life becomes short spans of new identities in which each new city invites you into new habits and routines, new people, new loves and a set of ephemeral things that will somehow vanish on the next train or plane.
Traveling or not, it seems we were all spies with ephemeral identities.

So, after my last beloved release one year ago, An Upcoming Summer, I'm glad share this shinny and brand-new EP entitled Living Undercover. Uop!"

Special thanks to Rubén Tamayo (Fax) who worked on the mastering, Tea Shafie for her amazing photography and Ulises Arvizu for his design.
