Mama Mañana Records presents Gold Tides and Deth Rali.
Deth Rali (Denver) returns to Santa Fe performing at the newly minted Marigold Room (inside The Lodge) with local favorites Gold Tides. The Denver-based synthpop duo of Jay Maike and Nathan Rodriguez will be performing a brand new, never-before-heard album live for the first time, along with classics from their 2024 album Ruby's Castle Island.
About Deth Rali:
The project of multi-instrumentalist Jay Maike, Deth Rali blends synthpop and darkwave into immersive music that seems to spawn a universe of its own. Maike’s fascination with fantasy worlds, melancholy, and vaporwave aesthetics help set the table for their brand new album “Ruby’s Castle Island”. As featured in Rolling Stone Espanol (July 2024), Deth Rali’s idiosyncratic vision is often described as a “synth-pop straight from a cult documentary” and their commitment to theatrical, avant-garde performances have earned them critical acclaim and adoration from their audiences. Maike’s willingness to experiment across genres help create the band’s fluid identity and a unique sound that is truly their own. Inspired by the cinematic worlds of Hayao Miyaziki’ and Studio Ghibli, Deth Rali’s new album “Ruby’s Castle Island” tells the story of a little girl named Ruby who leaves her sheltered life in search of adventure. The story, part rock opera and part cult documentary, is one told in vignettes across 12 brand new tracks, and feels sonically evocative of 80’s synth pop, 90’s shoegaze, and early 00’s indie pop.
“[Ruby] feels like a breath of fresh air in a music landscape that’s choked full of repetition more and more lately. Deth Rali meshes a seemingly sporadic and disparate list of genres into one cohesive and amazing listening experience.” - Pillow Princess Press
Hailing from Denver, Colorado, Deth Rali formed during the pandemic as the solo project of songwriter Jay Maike. After releasing his heart-string 2021 synth-pop EP Light Levels, Maike began collaborating with veteran drummer Nathan Rodriguez to create new music, which would eventually become the demos for Ruby’s Castle Island in 2023. That same year, Maike co-founded the music and apparel company Distant Planet with artist Hanna Williams, where they now release Deth Rali’s music and merch alongside visual art and design
