“It’s something we have in our soul,” says León Larregui, the frontman of Mexico ’s celebrated alt-rock band Zoé. “We’re telepathically connected, even from far away and without speaking.” That uncanny bond between Larregui and his bandmates — one he calls a “karmic sonic identity” — informed the band’s seventh album, Sonidos de Karmática Resonancia (or Sounds of Karmic Resonance ), out April 16th. “Our songs, some of which we wrote separately, would even have the same notes,” he continues. “It’s like we’re channeling from the same source.” For two decades, Zoé — comprised of Larregui, Sergio Acosta, Jesús Báez, Ángel Mosqueda, and Rodrigo Guardiola — have spun fantastic tales of otherworldly love and lucid dream explorations, all against a luminous rock backdrop that could easily induce visions of travelling through time and space.

Adam Perkins Dies: ‘Welcome To Chili’s’ Viral Vine Star Was 24
Adam Perkins , the Vine creator, performer and musician who achieved an unlikely fame in 2015 for a three-second video in which he enthusiastically exclaimed “Hi, welcome to Chili’s!” while clad only in boxer shorts, died Sunday of undisclosed causes. He was 24. His death was confirmed on Instagram by his twin brother Patrick Perkins. “I can’t even really put into words what this loss means for me,” Patrick wrote. “I’m often asked the question, ‘what’s it like to be a twin?’ and my response is usually, ‘what’s it like to NOT be a twin?’…it’s all i’ve known.
