Singing in English for the first time, as well as Spanish, throughout his third solo album, Invisible Life, Helado Negro (aka Roberto Carlos Lange) is a bilingual tour guide. The album is gentle in its delivery, but dense in its production, reflecting Helado Negro’s refined love affair with synthesis, sampling and his own strengthening voice. Collaborators join him throughout, including Bear in Heaven’s Jon Philpot, Mouse on Mars’ Jan St. Werner, Devendra Barnhart, and more. Each helps multiply the whispered dream of Helado Negro into a full-spectrum technicolor existence. The album is out March 5th on Asthmatic Kitty. You can listen to it in its entirety now via SPIN, and catch Helado Negro live throughout March. Roberto will play electronics and sing and will be joined by Jason Ajemian on electric bass.
