biography Leave your preconceptions behind upon hearing the two words Plastilina Mosh. Resist the temptation to connect these words with "Mexican Indie Rock" or "Latin Alternative Boom," for these catch phrases serve no justice to this dynamic musical duo, who just happen to come from Monterrey, Mexico.
		Perhaps there is no singular word to describe the unique sound of Plastilina Mosh, especially as exhibited on their second release, Juan Manuel. In many words, their sound is a combo meal of '60s sleazy-listening, '70s disco/funk, '80s punk/new wave, and '90s hip hop all microwaved to perfection. Mixing English and Spanish lyrics, their songs perfectly reflect a kind of bordertown internationalism - like some hip cantina with CNN and MTV satellite-dished in. In one word? Sleazydiscofunkpunknewwavehiphop. It has been nearly two years since Plastilina Mosh, comprised of Alejandro Rosso (keyboards/sampler) and Jonaz (guitar), released their highly successful debut album, Aquamosh. Their new record, Juan Manuel exhibits such tremendous dramatic musical growth, it is almost incomparable to their debut. The album's name refers to a mysterious friend of the band who reveals little about himself. In essence, Juan Manuel (the man and the album) leaves you to come to your own conclusions. Recorded in Monterrey, Mexico and produced by Money Mark (who plays and produces three songs on the album) and Chris Allison (The Beta Band), Juan Manuel is proof that Plastilina Mosh have not only perfected their craft but have focused their energies upon creating a truly diverse and innovative mesh of musical textures. "Human Disco Ball" (a #1 single at Mexican radio) is club anthem led by a pummeling landslide of vocodered vocals that would make Daft Punk proud. "Boombox Baby" is an electro bleep-filled funky number about an electronic music technician so overly involved with the gear for making dance music that when he reaches the actual dance floor he's all alone in a state of "disco solitaire." "Forget about the much-hyped, little heard "rock en espanol" genre. Plastilina Mosh have something much cooler to offer: call it "Beck en espanol" - INTERVIEW MAGAZINE
