BALVTHS - TRANSMUTATIONS (COSMIC PINK BURST VINYL)

Balthvs - the Colombian psychedelic funk trio whose globe-spanning sound has drawn comparisons to Khruangbin and a devoted following across the jam and festival circuits - present Transmutations, their first live offering and fifth full-length. Captured during the band's late-2025 European run and Flesh & Soul tour, then re-recorded and refined to studio fidelity, Transmutations bottles the relentless energy of Balthvs on stage without sacrificing a shred of sonic clarity. It is neither a conventional live album nor a studio record but a document of transformation: extended jams, raw Latin rhythms, live improvisation, and reworked classics alchemized into something entirely new. Across two sets, the trio - Balthazar Aguirre (guitar, vocals); Johanna Mercuriana (bass, vocals); and Santiago Lizcano (drums, vocals) - joined by Vanessa Muñoz, moves through hypnotic fusions like "LSD In Bahia," the dancefloor-ready "Mood Swing," and "Shakedown Street," their love letter to the Grateful Dead, the band Balthvs calls it's foundational influence. The result is a record that could only exist now - shaped by five years on the road and the audiences who helped the band discover what it's music could become. With over 100 million streams, performances in 94 cities across 26 countries, and festival appearances from SXSW and Austin City Limits to Outside Lands and Electric Forest, Balthvs has become Colombia's leading alternative international act. Transmutations is their boldest statement yet.
