Warming up for this Saturday’s event and hoping for sunshine, we present Estirado Al Sol from The Pinker Tones latest album Modular. When we asked Professor Manso what the story was behind this song, he replied, It´s simply the description of all the things that happen to me while I’m “estirado al sol”. What I feel over my body, what I hear, what I smell, what I see and what I think.

Enjoy! And hope to see you on Saturday in NYC at the Big Screen Plaza at 6pm.
