Биография

Childs started in 2002 as Paul Marrón’s solo outing and soon he established a new sound for the project which he refers to as ”electronic lullabies”—a combination of post rock, dream pop, IDM, and shoegaze as well as taking visual cues from anime. These elements were on full display by the time they debuted their debut LP Yui in 2006, which soon became a Mexican underground phenomenon. It’s impact was felt beyond its immediate frontiers by gaining fans around the world, taking them to stages in other countries including five tours of Asia between the years 2012 and 2018. Inviting other musicians to transform Childs into a full band, Marrón and company recorded a follow-up to Yui in 2015 under the name Realidal, which proved to be more expansive and cinematic than its predecessor. 2022 marks Childs’ return with their third album titled Xilds which was produced by Marrón and recorded in Fono Pacific Studios and Oso Grizzly Studios and features the current lineup to track most of the songs on the album: Jesús “Baqui” Neri con drums, Karla Alcocer on violin, and César Beltrán on bass as well as Marrón on vocals, guitar and electronics, alongside special guests. The video for “Navi” was co-produced by Terra Peninsular, a NPO dedicated to the protection of ecosystems and wildlife in Baja California and Sierrablanca films. A teaser for the new video has been released and the full video as well as Xilds will be available later this Spring on physical and digital formats.
