2019 release. Rodrigo y Gabriela are ready to embark on the next chapter of their remarkable story, with the release of their first studio album in five years. Three years in the making, Mettavolution brings together Rod and Gab's passionate interest in Buddhism, the history of human evolution and the liberation of the potential we have as a species; all expressed through the medium of two acoustic guitars. Conceived and composed in their studio in Ixtapa on the Mexican Pacific Coast, then road-tested in South America and the USA in 2017, a long list of new material has been distilled down to six new Rodrigo y Gabriela compositions and one audacious, jaw-dropping cover song. Recorded in Los Angeles, producer Dave Sardy, - best-known for his work with Oasis, LCD Soundsystem, A Perfect Circle and Band of Horses - has helped Rod and Gab to a new recording career pinnacle.
