Estrategia Lo Capto! – Gran Bola De Nieve CD

Regular price $3.50 Sale

The Valencian underground tradition of recent years could not be understood without the presence of the Junquera brothers, Marcos and Fernando. Hyperactive activists of their music scene, since the beginning of this decade they have not stopped organizing all kinds of underground events in Valencia; concerts by independent groups, edition of fanzines and, above all, a musical career based on experimentation. From the masterful debut double vinyl release of their first relevant band, Balano, in 2000, through the creative delirium of their second great project, Sausage, to their most solid band, Estrategia lo capto!, the Junquera brothers have demonstrated his enormous creative talent and his even more impressive acting skills. And even more so now, joining forces with Jonathan, a member of Le Jonathan Reilly (Carmen Diablo Records) and creator of the excellent fanzine Chilena Comando. But, above all, they are characterized by an incomparable erudition in terms of knowledge about musical avant-garde, and a very healthy way of understanding independence and experimentation, without denying mainstream influences, advocating good music as the only leitmotiv of their career, researching and promoting interesting and, above all, free-spirited music. Always related to post-rock, delving into the instrumental possibilities of Marcos' drums, Fernando's guitars and Jonathan's bass, and using the voices in an impressible and sporadic way, it is now, with Strategy I get it!, when his skills and musical eclecticism reach their maximum splendor. The list of groups that stand out for their influences is long and mysterious (22 pistepirko, Pell Mell, Massacre, Pere Ubu or Skin Graft), but linking them with Man or astro-man?, the sci-fi series B, the sonic terrorism and scary comics is no aberration. Surfer guitars more typical of decadence than of the beach sun, violent rhythms inherited from GSL groups like The Locust, post-punk grooves, eighties melodies and a strong dose of irreverence and sense of humor, far from snobbery and small-time intellectualism . Creativity in its purest form, ease and style, the keys to a group that has become a flagship of the rich Valencian underground scene.
