selected by  

Wonderful album by Fernando Alfaro, one of the most important indie musicians in Spain. He, as part of Surfin' Bichos, made history in Spanish indie music; later he repeated with his second band, Chucho, and now under the name Fernando Alfaro y Los Alienistas. What we can find in this album is love, anger and something similar to hope inside a desperate rock envelope with some kindness like in Problemas de Sueño (Sleeping problems), some string arrangements and also some pop touches here and there. Muscle and poetry under the skin. // Ïñigo de Amescua
