From the sound of lead single “El Consejo,” Grupo Fantasma's fourth LP, El Existential is delving into the spacier, psychedelic terrain of offshoot Brownout. The album features pianist Larry Harlow and the Meat Puppets' Curt Kirkwood. After the jump, a mini-documentary takes a tour of Grupo's “Level One Studio” in North Austin.
