San José, Costa Rica-based six-piece Las Robertas has announced a new LP, All We Need Is Now, out June 26th on Kanine Records and via Spinda Records in Spain. Their first new album in three years, it follows a handful of well-received releases and performances at festivals like Coachella, Levitation, Primavera Sound, and NRMAL since the band’s formation in 2009.

Incorporating elements of both ’60s psychedelia and the ’90s alternative and shoegaze scenes, Las Robertas has developed a lush, dreamy brand of fuzzed-out psych rock that sounds simultaneously nostalgic and of-the-moment. Citing influences like The Brian Jonestown Massacre, Lush, Ride, and Chapterhouse — who they shared a stage with earlier this year — the band’s upcoming release explores themes of living in the present, overcoming fears, and reaching a higher spiritual version of the self.

For a first taste of the album, Las Robertas has shared lead single “Everything I Wanted To Be,” along with a video directed by Madrid-based artist Juan Alvarez Santos (aka Arma Blancx), which you can watch below.

All We Need Is Now is a celebration of Las Robertas’ home country, with artwork by Costa Rican mixed media artist Juliana Quesada that features a Morpho butterfly, a national symbol of Costa Rica representing evolution and living in the present. The album was recorded in San José by Adrián Poveda and mixed & mastered by Estanislao Lopez in Buenos Aires.

Las Robertas will be touring Europe and Latin America later this year in support of the release.
