When you want to fly through space through New Wave, Shoegaze and post-punk melodies, with nuances of flamenco and Spanish folk music, you must keep in mind Los Planetas, a band that is releasing a new album after seven years. "Temporally Autonomous Zone" is the new work of the Granadino quintet that since 1990 marked a before and after in the Spanish indie music scene.
The band's ninth album was officially released on March 24 by the label El Ejército Rojo - El Volcán Música and since then has received very good reviews, being the best selling album at Itunes Spain the weekend of its release and the second Most sold in Spain the week of its launch. It was recorded by Jaime Beltrán and Carlos Díaz in the study "El Refugio Antiaéreo" in Granada. The mix was in charge of Carlos Díaz and Dangerous Productions and mastered by Simon Heyworth in super Audio Mastering in England.
"Temporally Autonomous Zone" maintains the sentimental, bitter, nostalgic and pessimistic sound of Los Planetas, being both relaxing and frenetic at the same time. The album's title comes from the manifesto of Hakim Bey, pseudonym of the New York anarchist writer Peter Lamborn Wilson. This was announced by Jota, leader and vocalist of the band. " The indie was the only culture of resistance in the 1990s, it is a movement that is organized outside the circuit established by the multinationals: of course, it is like a temporarily autonomous zone: as soon as power detects its existence, it absorbs it. England with the labels Rough Trade, Factory or Creation.The curious thing is that Spain has been the only country in the world in which the indie has consolidated.In the rest of the countries the alternative scene remains marginal, while here it has occupied The mainstream space ".
Los Planetas is a decent band that keeps making good music and that I still maintain a sound identity that its musical values. Here we leave the complete album:
