The First New Release In Five Years From The Legendary Mexican Alternative Group Has Been Widely Hailed As “ambitious, groundbreaking and quite simply, superb… another masterpiece… forty minutes of pure musical bliss… Five Solid Stars!”
“El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco” (The Object Previously Called An Album)” Was Also Recently Selected By NPR As One Of Their Favorite Albums of the Year:
“This is a band that has never rested on its laurels — which is ironic, because if any Latin rock band gets to gloat, it's Café Tacvba. It's outlived all other rock en Español icons from the '90s, and its music is truly the soundtrack of an era. The new record is synth-heavy, with nods to Andean and Mexican folk melodies. Part of Café Tacvba's success can be attributed to the honesty with which it writes. No marketing ploys here: The new album does not contain much in the way of drugs, sex, romance or rock 'n' roll, but instead engages in earnest introspection about life, aging, loss and living in a country ridden by violence. The band has proved that it consistently evolves with each record, but one thing always remains the same — a desire to just keep making good music.” – NPR – “best music of 2012”
“Cafe Tacvba hits new mark with 'El Objeto': Cafe Tacvba may be one of the most important rock bands alive…The new album from Mexico's fantastic quartet is ambitious, groundbreaking and quite simply, superb.

El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco is a manifestation of Café Tacvba’s evolution and maturation that excites the listener with each track — they remain fresh and energetic which is impressive considering their longstanding career as pioneers of Mexican rock. If this is what aging gracefully sounds like then it makes me look forward to the future.” – Remezcla Music
“The first single taken from Tacvba’s new album, “De Este Lado Del Camino”, is simply stunning. It is extremely melancholic and uplifting but different from anything else you have heard before. And that’s Café Tacvba … the album sounds huge, detailed, clear and compact without being digitally unlistenable. There are a lot of electronic elements, noises and textures that constantly come and go… Here, we just have forty minutes of pure musical bliss …El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco is a unique album in their discography that is challenging and rewarding for those who are interested in diving into Café Tacvba’s musical world.”- SoCal Music today
