MULA's double A-Side one-sided flexi record is complete tropical badassery.
Featuring two new songs from the band's upcoming sophomore release, and sprinkled with some Discos Diáspora design magic, this limited edition, transparent blue and silver foil stamped flexi-disc record comes packaged in a clear protective sleeve with original artwork exclusive to the release, and includes a download code for both tracks.
What's a flexi? These thin, bendable records were used years ago as promotional items in magazines, cereal boxes and the like. They play just like regular records and sound pretty darn close to their bigger, better known siblings.
Picture below is of test pressings (for color reference). Will update as soon as we get them!
Shipping is expected starting May 15.
Includes unlimited streaming of Retumba / No Hay Manera [Flexi 7-inch]
via the free Bandcamp app, plus high-quality download in MP3, FLAC and more.

lyrics
No hay manera de mirarnos
a los ojos al otro día
¿Quién lo vio? ¿Alguien vio? ¿Cómo vio?
No hay manera de negarlo si es que tanto lo quería
¿Que me dio? ¿Que nos dio?
Jura que esto no es malo
porque es muy bueno
y yo le creo
Jura que esto no es malo
porque es muy bueno
y es verdad
Ciertamente, en realidad, fascinante, ah
No hay manera de frenarlo
desde que pasó ese día
¿Cómo sí? ¿Cómo no? ¿Cómo no?
Desde entonces continuamos
operando a escondidas
No paró, no paró
Jura que esto no es malo
porque es muy bueno
y yo le creo
Jura que esto no es malo
porque es muy bueno
y es verdad
Que es muy bueno y yo le creo
Que es muy bueno y es verdad
Si este juramento se me pasa
Si este juramento no es verdad
Siento que la vida me traspasa
Si lo que me dices es verdad.
