Diles Que No Me Maten are a Mexico City five-piece whose
krautrock-influenced art rock has evolved into something genuinely singular - wiry, poetic, and alive with improvisational instinct. Their fourth album Escrito en Agua (Writ in Water), due June 12 via Moonlight Activities, is their most focused and accessible work yet, recorded in a makeshift studio in Santa María LaRibera with producer Sebastián Rojas. Built around restrained drumming, deliberate silences, and the spiritual weight of Oaxacan funerary music, the record moves with an unhurried confidence that feels hard-won. Thematically, Escrito en Agua is a record about presence, wandering, and resilience - songs that sit with ambiguity rather than resolve it. Lead single "Hiriku" sets the tone, pairing frenetic krautrock with lines drawn from José Vicente Anaya's visionary poem Híkuri, while standout track "No me" transforms a mantra of self-assurance into something far more emotionally complex. Dedicated to both the indigenous morning star Tunuwame and Palestinian poet Mahmoud Darwish, the album closes as it opens: quietly transcendent, paying careful attention to the smallest details of what it means to be alive.
