LA indie soul outfit, The Altons have released the melancholy “Del Cielo te Cuido”, which translates to ‘From Heaven I Take Care of You.’ The band explores their cultural roots on the track, blending a heartfelt homage to traditional boleros with modern, moody instrumentals. It’s a love letter to the music their parents grew up listening to, a tragic story of the heartache and pain that a person may go through when they are away from someone they love.
The Altons have become a key fixture in the vibrant West Coast ‘Souldies’ scene and will release Heartache in Room 14 on February 14, 2025, their debut LP via Daptone Records.
Central to The Altons’ sound is the deeply harmonious interplay between the vocals of front-persons Adriana Flores and Bryan Ponce, which imbues their music with an intimate and sincere quality. Heartache in Room 14 is a duet album inspired by the Motown and Stax eras with a cultural lens of a group born and raised in Los Angeles.
Heartache in Room 14 is produced by Daptone Records’ renowned Bosco Mann, signifying a pivotal evolution in their artistry. Describing the new creative process, Ponce notes, “This whole album was a new experience for us, from the way we approach songwriting to how we recorded the music.”
Flores adds, “Working at Penrose with Gabe was a turning point for us. Our songwriting process was meticulously broken down and rebuilt, focusing intensely on lyrics, melody, and arrangement.”
Heartache in Room 14 is set to propel The Altons and their distinctive brand of soul music to new heights, captivating audiences across the globe with their unique sound and profound musical storytelling.
