BALTHVS release MANIFEST and begin US tour

BALTHVS

BALTHVS released their fifth studio album, MANIFEST, on 7 October 2026 through Mixto Records. The Colombian trio recorded the eleven-track set in rural Colombia between tour legs, after bassist Johanna Mercuriana returned from maternity leave. The album keeps the band's psychedelic funk foundation but adds drum and bass, a heavier guitar attack and Ethio-jazz touches. One track, "Motion (For Ashra)", samples Ashra's "Oasis" as a tribute to Manuel Göttsching and kosmische music. The record is available on orange splatter vinyl, CD, cassette and digital formats. BALTHVS support it with a 16-date US tour running through 30 October, from Kentucky to Washington state. Further North American, European and Australian dates are expected in 2027. The band describe the title as a reference to hermetic principles that have guided them since their formation.
