Founded in London in 2011 around Grammy-winning producer Nigel Godrich, journeyman drummer Joey Waronker and Goldsmiths College alum Laura Bettinson's  mutual love of Afrobeat, electronic and dance music, visual art, and tequila, Ultraísta wasted no time creating 10 inspired tracks  of exquisitely crafted electronic kraut-pop for this phenomenal first outing.

Favoring mantras over traditional choruses and distilling their compositions to the barest essentials, the band possesses the kind  of masterful control over the pure anatomy of a pop song that only comes from having played a significant role in redefining the form in the 21st century.

In addition to the now-live NPR First Listen, various Ultraísta tracks and videos can be heard and seen at http://www.ultraista.com, https://www.youtube.com/user/UltraistaTV ,
