Check out “The New Baktun” (soundcloud), Santiparro’s cathartic second single from his debut album True Prayer (out February 24 via Gnome Life Records). FADER premiered the song, which features none other than TV On The Radio’s Kyp Malone on vocals, and follows Santiparro’s collaboration w/ Will Oldham, “The Benefit of Confrontation” (soundcloud).

Along with vocal contributions from Kyp Malone and Will Oldham, the album also features Adam Wills (Bear In Heaven), Melati Malay (Young Magic) and Ben Bromley (NewVillager). True Prayer ushes past the typical psychedelic-folk boundaries to penetrate the mysteries of the spirit world and the outer reaches of expanded consciousness.
Santiparro means “the lens that sees many things not usually seen,” and was the name given to Alan in 2010 during a pilgrimage with a Wixatari (Huichol) family to Wirikuta, the sacred desert where Peyote originates. True Prayer is an emergent work, ancient teachings and timeless visions, transmitted through the artistry of a modern man.
