According to band member Daniel Varas, the album is like a roadtrip with your best friends—but in a car that flies. The voices and synthesizers were recorded in Astro s studio in Santiago and the drums were recorded in Red Bull Studios in Sao Paulo, Brazil.

Chicos de la Luz is a follow up to Astro s stellar self-titled debut album, which the New York Times called  A joy that needs no translation.  The single  Panda  was featured in the EA Sports video game  FIFA 13 . The debut earned them comparisons to Crystal Castles and Poolside.

This Friday, July 10, Astro brings the first peek of  Chicos de la Luz  to the LAMC at Celebrate Brooklyn! In New York City.
