The album receiving accolades is the band’s 2012 release, El Objeto Antes Llamado Disco. Rolling Stone called the band the “Mexican equivalent of the Beatles or Radiohead;” Associated Press described the album as “ambitious, groundbreaking and quite simply, superb;” and NPR noted that the effort “engages in earnest introspection about life, aging, loss and living in a country ridden by violence.”
