Helado Negro's Roberto Carlos Lange has always honored his roots in his music, blending his Ecuadorian heritage with the diverse sounds he heard while growing up in Florida. This celebration feels even more vital on Private Energy, Lange's response to the politically charged climate of the late 2010s. Where previous Helado Negro albums seemed to exist just to capture fleeting moments of beauty, this time Lange trades blissful drifting for something more intentional. Just as his music is rooted in his heritage, he gives Private Energy solid foundations to withstand tumultuous times

Helado Negro’s previous album, Double Youth, was an examination of his memories and childhood. The album featured a wrinkling black-and-white photo of him and his brother - a private relic of his youth revealed to fans. Album artwork for Helado Negro’s Double Youth. Album artwork for Private Energy. The album is also dotted with seconds-long interludes - titled obras - that play as though they’re short, quivering transmissions from space in between songs. They’re like palate cleansers, he says jokingly. And he’s right - the little moments of robotic beeps and ambient ripples allow breathing room for listeners to process what they’ve just heard.
