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.

First single from MULA's upcoming second album goes from dembow to drum and bass without losing its tropical cool.
lyrics
Tumba, tumba, retumba
¿es el mar, son mis pies?
No lo sé ya veré, decía al mirarme
tumba, tumba
Y yo veía la tarde que iba a caer
ya no sé si era tarde o amanecer
tumba, tumba, que retumba
Tumba, tumba, retumba
que hacía mucho calor
y ahí se le ocurrió que en el mar es mejor
Tumba, tumba
Lú tenías que ser tú
tú que loca estás
tanto pa' saltar
tarde por el mar
Oh Lú, solamente tú
Tú me haces nadar
darme cuenta qué
quería retumbar
Oh Lú, luces surreal
al bailar el son,
son del malecón,
son del malecón
Oh Lú, luce que es el ron
rompe las olas, olas que se van
van que retumban
