Mint Field is an artist hailing from Mexico City, Mexico. With their unique blend of dreamy shoegaze and post-punk influences, Mint Field has quickly gained recognition in the music scene. Their captivating melodies and ethereal vocals transport listeners to another world. Drawing inspiration from bands like My Bloody Valentine and Slowdive, Mint Field creates a sonic landscape that is both nostalgic and forward-thinking. Their debut album "Pasar de las Luces" received critical acclaim and solidified their place as one of the most exciting emerging artists in the industry.

Formed by Estrella Sanchez (vocals/guitar) and Amor Amezcua (drums), Mint Field's sound is characterized by intricate guitar work, atmospheric textures, and hypnotic rhythms. Their live performances are known for their raw energy and emotional intensity, leaving audiences spellbound.

With a growing fanbase around the world, Mint Field continues to push boundaries with their music. Whether you're a long-time fan or new to their sound, be prepared to embark on a sonic journey unlike any other with Mint Field.

Mint Field was originally formed in Tijuana by frontwoman Estrella del Sol Sánchez and ex-member Amor Amezcua in 2015. The band is now led by vocalist and guitarist Estrella del Sol with Sebastian Neyra on bass and Callum Brown on drums. The band creates a unique blend of avant psych shoegaze that explores the nostalgia and melancholy of daily life with complex rhythms, loud, shimmering guitars, and softly sighing vocals. Emerging from the two most exciting destinations for art and music in Mexico, the atmospheric shoegaze proggers originally formed in Tijuana before relocating to Mexico City where they are now based.

The band's second full-length, Sentimiento Mundial, was recorded in London at Wilton Way Studios with producer Syd Kemp and help from drummer Callum Brown (both of Ulrika Spacek). The album sees the evolution of the band's psych-shoegaze sound shift toward a more minimal, rhythmically focused approach. "Natural" resumes Mint Field's classic sound with a dreamy guitar that bursts into raucous distortion, elevated by the addition of violin, strings, and saxophone. This was achieved with the help of guest collaborators Cathy Lucas (Vanishing Twin) and Nathan Pigott, who along with Kemp are part of the HAHA Sounds Collective. The motorik beat of "Contingencia" sets a krautrock-inspired tone that's taken to new heights with del Sol's angelic voice. Hauntingly melodic, "Delicadeza'' perfectly captures the band's very own type of supernatural shoegaze. Sentimiento Mundial crystalizes Mint Field's distinctive, contemporary sound with passion and energy that takes listeners to unimaginable places.
