As one of the new album's more powerfully rhythmic cuts, this track is yet another illustration of the duo's stunning interplay and masterful guitar-work.
11:11 was recorded in Ixtapa, Mexico and produced by Rodrigo y Gabriela, with John Leckie co-producing one of the tracks.
The album was mixed in Wales and London by Colin Richardson, best known for his work with Slipknot and Trivium.
Comprising 11 new original compositions, 11:11 is the band's personal "gracias" to 11 musicians, both past and present, who have inspired them along the way. Alex Skolnick of metal gods Testament guests on the album, as do widely-respected acoustic veterans Strunz & Farah.
11:11 is the long-awaited follow-up to their 2006 self-titled debut that has so far enjoyed worldwide sales in excess of half-a-million albums.
Rodrigo y Gabriela will be bringing their inimitable live show to the following venues throughout September and October.
