Created amid the pandemic shutdown that interrupted the tour of their 2020 album From Liberty Street, 3 emerged after Sam and Clay squatted down with close friend and record producer Dan Horne (Beachwood Sparks, Cass McCombs, Allah-Las) and began to work on vulnerable reinterpretations of some of their favorite songs. There are homages to established classics – including a sunny, rocking version of Stevie Wonder’s “You Are The Sunshine Of My Life” and an unhurried romantic version of Sade’s “All About Our Love” – as well as versions inventive songs of Allah. -Las and Australian psych-rockers Babe Rainbow.

The performances on 3 embody exactly what makes Mapache’s music so intoxicating: close harmonies, masterful musicality and a unique ability to tap into the innate vibrations of a song and reveal its moments of wonder. It is a welcoming record which postulates a deep and thoughtful listening as the greatest means of escape.
