Lead track "Fosas Limitadas" is percussion heavy with strident synths and choppy guitars, sounding like a mix of Stereolab and Wire, before bursting into a chorus that sounds like the best Spanish psych-pop single you've never heard. An appropriate analogy as, according to singer/guitarist Lorena Quintanilla, the song (which translates as "limited graves") "talks about the inconsistence of our memories." "I like the rhythm - the demo made me think of [Survivor's] 'Eye Of The Tiger'," adds guitarist Alberto González, with a laugh. "It's a fun song in a weird way. It sounds like if it was melting..." The other new track, "El Olivo", is a lament for the old house they lived in when they first moved to the city of Ensenada in 2017. "Lorena had a dream about this huge olive tree," explains Alberto. "In the dream, there was golden oil emerging from it and she saw the tree as an infinite source of abundancy and wellness. A year after her dream, we moved to that 100-year old house and turns out there was an old olive tree in the backyard. The tree is now gone along with the house -the greedy owners demolished everything in the property to build a gym or some other elitist business." The EP is rounded out by remixes of two songs from de Facto (2019). CC Crain, aka Cooper Crain from Cave and Bitchin Bajas turns "Lux, Lumina" into a disturbing dub noise, like Broadcast covering PiL's Metal Box, while Pye Corner Audio sets the epic "Unificado" adrift on a sea of analogue synths. Transparent orange and green moon phase vinyl; Edition of 300.
