Tijuana-based duo Mint Field have announced debut album Pasar De Las Luces and shared lead single "Ojos En El Carro".
Pasar De Las Luces follows up their 2015 EP Primeras Salidas and first tastere "Ojos En El Carro" sees Mint Field dive deep into the world of shoegaze, with thick, woozy layers of reverb and clattering percussion underpinning vocal lines that sound lost between dimensions.

Tracklist:
- El Parque Parecía No Tener Fin
- Ojos En El Carro
