Ultraísta is an experimental rock band, formed in 2008. The band consists of Atoms for Peace members Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker, alongside Laura Bettinson. The band's self-titled debut album was released on October 2, 2012.[1] The band's biography notes that it was "conceived from a love of afrobeat, electronica, art and inspired by tequila".[2]
History
Initially a collaboration between Nigel Godrich and Joey Waronker, Ultraísta became a three-piece with the addition of Laura Bettinson in 2010. The band's name is taken from the Spanish literary movement ultraism.
The band released their first album in 2012, followed by a remix album. In 2019, the band announced via social media that it would be returning, releasing a deluxe edition of their self-titled debut on November 22.[3]
They released their first single, "Tin King," from their second album on BBC Radio 6 on January 14, 2020. The album, Sister, released on March 13, 2020.[4]
