Their debut album Heartache in Room 14 is out 14th February on Daptone Records
The Altons have become a key fixture in the vibrant West Coast 'Souldies' scene and will release Heartache in Room 14 on February 14, 2025, their debut LP via Daptone Records.
Central to The Altons' sound is the deeply harmonious interplay between the vocals of front-persons Adriana Flores and Bryan Ponce, which imbues their music with an intimate and sincere quality. Heartache in Room 14 is a duet album inspired by the Motown and Stax eras with a cultural lens of a group born and raised in Los Angeles.
Today, The Altons release the melancholy “Del Cielo te Cuido”, which translates to 'From Heaven I Take Care of You.' The band explores their cultural roots on the track, blending a heartfelt homage to traditional boleros with modern, moody instrumentals. It’s a love letter to the music their parents grew up listening to, a tragic story of the heartache and pain that a person may go through when they are away from someone they love.

Heartache in Room 14 is produced by Daptone Records’ renowned Bosco Mann, signifying a pivotal evolution in their artistry. Describing the new creative process, Ponce notes, "This whole album was a new experience for us, from the way we approach songwriting to how we recorded the music." Flores adds, "Working at Penrose with Gabe was a turning point for us. Our songwriting process was meticulously broken down and rebuilt, focusing intensely on lyrics, melody, and arrangement."
As pioneering members of Daptone Records' Penrose imprint, The Altons quickly progressed from captivating local nightclubs to lighting up stages at major festivals such as Austin City Limits, Montreal Jazz Festival, and Corona Capital, selling thousands of records along the way.
Heartache in Room 14 is set to propel The Altons and their distinctive brand of soul music to new heights, captivating audiences across the globe with their unique sound and profound musical storytelling.
