Since dropping his decade-old Nobody debut Soulmates, Elvin Estela’s covered the Flaming Lips (“What Is the Light?”), toyed with Auto Tune (One For All Without Hesitation) and severely stoned pop soundscapes (Blank Blue), and collaborated with everyone from Prefuse 73 to members of Mars Volta and Beachwood Sparks. The producer’s long-running streak as one of L.A.’s most unpredictable knob-twiddlers continues this week with the trunk-thumping beats of Bomb Zombies, a Nocando-backed riff on mainstream rap that was described by the L.A.

Due out February 21, We’re New Here can be pre-ordered at the project’s micro site now; either as a high-quality MP3 rip, CD pressing, or vinyl box set. All of which include an immediate download version of the following track…
