Recorded in 2018 at Lechehouse Studios in Austin, Tx by Grammy Award winning musician Beto Martinez (Grupo Fantasma, Brownout, Money Chicha). "Remember" is a collection of songs Nick Diaz wrote upon returning from a 2 week trip to India. Diaz and Martinez met the previous year at a SXSW event in 2017 where Buenos Diaz played before Grupo Fantasma at Empire Control Room. Reconnecting a few months later at The Continental Gallery where Beto's group Money Chicha was holding down a Monday Night residency, the two quickly jumped into a conversation about working together. Basic tracks were recorded live to a Tascam 388 1/4" tape machine with minimal overdubs taking place in the box on Protools with Blackler Mastering putting the finishing touches on in Brooklyn, NY. The lead single "Beautiful" addresses heroin addiction and sobriety after losing a friend to a lifelong battle with the opiate this past year during quarantine.
