Austin-based The Point. are releasing a deluxe version of their album Maldito Animal direct to customers with Keeled Scales. The deluxe edition features different colorway on the album artwork, plus two bonus tracks previously unreleased.
Despite their influences ranging across the world, The Point. are a band that could only have started in Austin. Fusing psychedelia, Saharan guitar music, and cumbia with jam-band sensibilities, the trio creates a laid-back vibe that’s more than the sum of its parts. Their latest, Maldito Animal (Deluxe Edition), finds the band exploring new directions, the aural equivalent of a crate-digger showing off their collection, a panoply of taste culled into one source. This summer, The Point. find themselves in an extensive touring schedule, bringing their abrupt, energetic fervor to stages across the country. They just finished a tour of Europe and return to the States supporting Uncle Lucius on a Colorado tour. They’re also performing at multiple festivals including Floyd Fest in Floyd, VA; Hopscotch Music Festival in Raleigh, NC; and Austin City Limits Music Festival in Austin, TX. On September 26th, via Spaceflight Records & Keeled Scales, they’ll release Maldito Animal (Deluxe Edition), adding two bonus tracks to the full-length record.
