Recorded between 1996 and 1997 in Altadena, CA but seeing the light of day for the first time, “First Days” is the first collection of songs recorded by Alejandro Cohen and Marcos Chloca under the name Languis. Recorded with a Tascam Portastudio, Casio HT-700, Kawai K-1r, a borrowed guitar, and a telephone microphone, “First Days” takes your ears on a trip through both abstract and melodic songs and experiments.
Be sure to get your hands on this piece of collectible history. Only 100 made.

This is just a quick note to share some of the things going on at the moment.
We are preparing a string of releases, mostly digital, but some limited physical as well.
This includes early recordings from the band back in 1996 and a 3 CD retrospective called “Close Up, 1997-2007″ with unreleased recordings from that period. Besides that we are also preparing a series of live recordings to be released soon.

In regards to live shows, I am afraid there won’t be much coming up in the near future. But that is just because we are so busy with many other projects

Thank you so much for your support throughout all these years!!!
