CDMX and Hermosillo, Mexico-based experimental trio Meth Math released their newest album Chupetones on February 2 via Real Life. Given the moniker Meth Math, one might anticipate a GG Allin-inspired ensemble, rather than an eclectic trio hailing from Mexico who excel at crafting unconventional reggaeton beats. Co-produced and mixed by Miami’s Nick León who has worked with the likes of Rosalia, Denzel Curry, and Canadian-Columbian gem, Isabella Lovestory, the budding producer adds a hypnotic flair that still maintains Meth Math’s DIY ethos. The three met in studios throughout Hermosillo and Mexico City, with a blank slate, eager to share and build upon the experiences each of them had while apart.

They’re more underground compared to their collaborative counterparts, such as Sega Bodega or Machine Girl, but I’d argue that they’re on their way there to being an established player within their genre. The closest comparison I can give for their new album Chupetones is if A.G Cook produced a Daddy Yankee Album. Their latest single, “Myspace”, is an eccentric slow-dance masterpiece that wouldn't feel out of place at a hip high school dance, but where the artist really shines is “Cyberia”.

Cyberia is my favorite jam; it echoes the sensations that course through my body after consuming a large Red Bull. Chupetones cements Meth Math's lead amongst this boundless new generation of Latin artists and builds on the dichotomy the Mexican trio has always existed in: a gothic party that plays between the sacred and the profane, between neo-perreo and new age emo. Undoubtedly, this album is a must-listen for those who appreciate Cher, P.C. Music, or are fascinated by the hyperpop genre.
