The video took 36 years to make. It combines 8mm footage from 1972 (that Andrés "Güero" found in his grandma's closet) with present day footage, using most of the same actors from the past in the present, all singing and dancing to "Laydown"!

Chikita Violenta make really warm pop songs that sound like being encased in a cocoon made out of guitars. - The Fader
Each song is like its own little production filled to the brim with intensely memorable and heartfelt songs. The Stars and Suns Sessions is a near-perfect pop album that introduces not only a band to watch out for but also an entire country getting ready to take the independent music world by storm. - Delusions of Adequacy
This Mexico City quintet offer a version of their benefactor's lush, hirsute indie rock that's actually more shimmery and less jammy. - Spin
"War" mingles shoegaze with bombastic percussion that dips and climbs with the adrenaline of a roller coaster, as multiple vocalist harmonize..."The Last Film" is a giant industrial robot that smashes everything in its path...The Stars and Suns Sessions is and impresive release."- Under The Radar
