Lo-Fi Craftsman Chris Mazuera Announces “Let’s Take A Trip” Album
September 30, 2022 BY Jason Currell
New York-based producer and lofi craftsman Chris Mazuera has announced his album Let’s Take A Trip, out December 2 via Nettwerk.
“The album represents to me the musical growth that I’ve had,” says Mazuera, “more specifically in the last two years. I’ve learned better how to mold together all my different influences into a sound that’s more uniquely mine.”
Today, Mazuera shares “Roots,” the fourth single from the LP. The album closer is a funky and electrified jam, full of bluesy guitar solos and heavy drum kicks.
“I wanted to close out the album in a strong way,” Mazuera says, “so I mixed as many of my influences as I could in this track: rock, jazz, hip-hop, psychedelic, blues, classical.”
The “Roots” title and the inclusion of guitar solos are personal to Mazuera, calling back to his musical introduction to New York City. “I would busk in Grand Central soloing over the blues for hours,” he recalls.
