After a second album, marked by preaching lyrics and truncated by a global pandemic affecting its tour, Dätcha Mandala released a liberating EP in May 2022, leading to a French, UK and European tour spanning over 60 dates.

However, it marks the end of an era and the beginning of a new chapter. The trio’s influences are now fully assimilated, compositions assert themselves, absorbing a certain modernity, and at times, they also toughen, aligning with the current times.

The lyrics darken, influenced by the zeitgeist, although a hopeful vision persists. Making bold choices in terms of sound and artistic production, Dätcha Mandala delivers a profound, robust, mature, powerful album with an unmatched consistency so far.

April 26 is the official release day of Dätcha Mandala’s new album titled »Koda« and at Discos Macarras Records we will have a “Spanish Edition” of this LP ready to ship.

Special limited edition to 300 copies on clear blue vinyl LP, with insert + poster included.
