[5] The album was recorded during 2015 at the studios Diosa Salvaje and Avesexua with engineers Mariano Lopez and Saga Herrera, and mixed at After Hours Studio in Los Angeles by Rafa Sardina, the strings in the album were arranged by Claudio Cardone, played by the City of Prague Philharmonic Orchestra and recorded at Smecky Music Studios while the winds portions were arranged by Michael B. Nelson and recorded at Bone 2 B Wild Studio in Minneapolis.
[6] About the composition and themes of the album, the duo said that "the idea was to translate into recording techniques what we felt, which was very visceral, we needed that humanity outside humanity, because there are human things that are not good and there are animal things that are better, it was almost like turning into animals in some type of way, tribal-like", themes such as pleasure, faith, love, tribes and shamanism run through the album in songs like "Aleluya", about the search for a new faith, "Diciembre" ("December"), about the end of a relationship, and "El Árbol Bajo el Agua" ("The Tree Under the Water"), about something that should not be in a certain place anymore but still is, resisting, like for example, love.
[7] In early 2016, the duo teased the album via a Facebook stream, the video reached over 23k views in one hour.
[11] Mariano Prunes from AllMusic gave the album three and a half stars out of five, writing that while the tracks are "wildly eclectic", the album "does not fare so well as an Illya Kuryaki record, it is neither bizarre nor funny enough, it lacks a truly great I.K.V.
would have been a much better album than Chances, because its several highlights ("Aleluya," "Gallo Negro," "Los Ángeles," "Ritmo Mezcal") are better than anything on that previous outing".
