Helado Negro has shared a new video for "Lengua Larga," a track from his 2016 album Private Energy.
"The song "Lengua Larga" is about the paranoia of never feeling at home in your home," Helado Negro says about the song. "It's loosely based around my relative who came over from Ecuador at a young age and stayed as an undocumented immigrant, through high school and got a scholarship to college but was unable to attend due to legal status. Now they get by working under the table."
On Friday, Helado Negro will share Private Energy (Expanded), featuring reworked versions of tracks from the record, as well as a vinyl release of the album via RVNG Intl. Watch the new video above and Helado Negro's upcoming tour dates with Nicolas Jaar, Mitski and Sylvan Esso below.
