}}Making Movies is an US-American rock band based out of Kansas City, Missouri. Their music is influenced by rock, cumbia, psychedelia, American roots, son cubano, and spoken word. On May 26, 2017, Making Movies released their third album, titled I Am Another You. The album has been featured on various Spotify playlists and charted on three Billboard charts; #3 on Latin Pop Album Sales, #8 on Latin Album Sales, and #8 on World Albums.[1]

Making Movies consists of two sets of brothers, Enrique Chi (vocals/guitar), Diego Chi (bass/vocals), Juan-Carlos Chaurand (percussion/keys) and Andres Chaurand (drums). Andres Chaurand replaced original drummer Brendan Culp in 2016. The band currently resides in Kansas City.[2]

History

In June 2012, the band released a self-produced EP and 7" titled “Aguardiente” on the Kansas City record label, The Record Machine.[3]

In March 2012, the band recorded their sophomore album, titled A La Deriva ("adrift" or "swept away"), produced by Steve Berlin of Los Lobos. On a 10-day recording session, the band traveled to Portland, OR. to record and work with Berlin.[4] The album, released on March 5, 2013,[5] tells a story based on the struggles of an immigrant family that tragically falls apart in US-America, and the consequential impact on the following generation. Taking cues from Latin American folklore, the band soundswings intensely, at times sounding like Compay Segundo being played by Jimi Hendrix and at other times like The Talking Heads digging deep into a dembow. In discussing the title track of the album, "Deriva," Felix Contreras of NPR's AltLatino said, “...the young band Making Movies (and its producer, Steve Berlin of Los Lobos) shows us how deeply thought-out lyrics sound next to a rhythm track that somehow both propels and floats without violating the laws of physics."[6]

In May 2017, Making Movies performed at the Kennedy Center as a part of the JFK Centennial celebrations.[7]

I Am Another You was released in 2017, and was produced by Steve Berlin.[8] The album tells this story of three young men from different parts of the world who each face a crisis and go through terrible suffering. Though one man is from Venezuela, one is from Mexico, and one is from the Midwest, the parallels of their suffering reveal that they are, in actuality, the same person. This is intended to invoke the spirit of the Mayan phrase, “in lak’ech ala k’in”(English: "I am another you, and you are another me").[9][2]

The quartet has toured with Hurray for the Riff Raff, Los Lobos, Tennis, Ozomatli, Ha Ha Tonka, Aterciopelados, Molotov, Neon Indian, Cold War Kids, Enanitos Verdes, Arterciopelados, PXNDX, and Mariachi El Bronx among others.[10][11]

Critical Reception

Making Movies' most recent album, I Am Another You, has received generally positive praise from critics. NPR's Alt.Latino listed the album in its "Favorite Music of 2017 (So Far)",[12] and it received favorable reviews from Remezcla, Clrvynt, and US-American Songwriter.[2][13][14]

I Am Another You reached #3 on Billboard's Latin Pop Album Sales and #8 on Latin Album Sales and World Album Sales.[1]
