La estrella pop local Javiera Mena se alista para realizar una nueva gira en España, donde su música goza de amplia aceptación y popularidad. La cantautora chilena el 24 de mayo comienza un tour que se extenderá hasta el 15 de junio, compartiendo escenario con luminarias del pop español como Hidrogenesse, Los Punsetes, Pegasvs, Triángulo [...]

Unlike many of you, I’m nowhere near getting tired of CANADA’s celluloid approach. Beyond the familiar aesthetic motifs (the horizontal panning, abrupt close-ups, character bondage, etc.), there’s a physicality to their videos that’s really hard-hitting. Their latest knockout, “Alférez Provisional,” is like a recipe for disaster that turns into a gemstone because of its shared unsentimental recital with the song. The return of Los Punsetes is exciting by itself, but knowing Pablo Diaz-Reixa (El Guincho) is at the helm of their third album, Una montaña es una montaña (out later this month through Everlasting Records), makes ...

Algo nos dijo en su día que el tercer disco de Los Punsetes sería importante. Un gran paso adelante. Sin duda el excelente LP 2, con ese hitazo que fue y sigue siendo ‘Tus amigos‘, nos marcó y mucho; sin duda la inclusión de El Guincho a la producción nos llamó la atención; pero algo [...]

Con motivo de la primera visita a la Argentina de la banda de indie-pop española Los Punsetes, los amigos del sello Estamos Felices organizaron un festival gratuito en el que también se presentarán los locales Bicicletas, Carmel y Santiago Motorizado de El Mató a un Policía Motorizado. Además, habrá feria de discos y la pista [...]

Que estemos en 2012 significa, entre millones de otras cosas, que toca nuevo disco de Los Punsetes, uno de nuestros grupos favoritos. Y, como marcan las normas no escritas de la industria musical, los madrileños ya se han puesto a ello. De hecho, esta misma semana han anunciado que están efectivamente grabando su tercer disco [...]

Bote, Diosque Independiente, Argentina Rating: 77 by Carlos Reyes “You’re one of those people who likes to stare at accidents” says the punching opening line in Los Punsetes’ brutally visceral, “Accidentes.” Argentine composer Juan Roman Diosque strikes me as one of those people. Through his music, he defies the proportions of a bird’s-eye elevated view to instead observe its subjects at a depraved proximity. There’s something very neurotic about an anti-panoramic songwriter (e.g. Marco Antonio Solís), especially when the short distance devotion hints early symptoms of voyeurism and, even more fascinating, paraphilia. But Diosque’s condition ...

Grandes males, remedios regulares, Anntona Gramaciones Grabofónicas, Spain Rating: 77 by Pierre Lestruhaut There’s a particular sample in Grandes males, remedios regulares , the latest release from Anntona (guitarist of Los Punsetes), that serves as an interlude between the two-songs-in-one “ECI/Amorcitos,” and in which we can hear a man with a heavy French accent saying “I want to fuck her” in regards to an American woman who’s obviously shocked by the situation. Had I not been a huge Gainsbourg enthusiast I would have completely failed to see the origin of the uncredited sample and, thus, would have never ...

Manu, de Los Punsetes, canta una de las 'rumbas calorras' de su otro proyecto, bajo el muy calorro sol de Lavapiés.  Leer .  Escuchar

Anntona, guitarist of Los Punsetes and responsible for one of the most gorgeous pop songs of our generation (“Tu Hueles Mejor”), will be releasing his third solo album later this month. Last time we immersed ourselves in the peculiar compositional spectrum of Anntona, we found ourselves baffled and disturbed. For starters, because we couldn’t believe someone could align an off-the-wall song like “Todo El Mundo Tiene Porno En Casa” with something as deeply moving as “Tu Hueles Mejor.” In some way or another, En La Cama Con Anntona was a key record that helped us to desensitize our implanted ...

Maracaibo, La Estrella de David Canadá, Spain Rating: 67 by Pierre Lestruhaut Let’s just get the obvious stuff out first. Like most people writing about La Estrella de David’s Maracaibo have been pointing out, David Rodríguez is indeed that sort of discreet figure that’s silently but importantly contributing to shaping the sound of a particular scene, in this case, one that features some of our more beloved Spanish indie acts. Because whether it’s through the delayed influence of his band Beef or his production work in Romancero and LP2 , he’s constantly being referred to as ...

Tan Bajo, Dávila 666 In The Red, Puerto Rico Rating: 84 ★★★★ by Pierre Lestruhaut Sometimes it seems like it must really suck to be part of a “Latin” band. Look at the extremely tiny proportion of these bands that actually manages to cruise into the very coveted territory of prestigious blogs and webzines (the Pitchfork audience), and when they actually make it they always seem doomed to be compared to another band from the anglosphere. You can’t say El Guincho’s success didn’t appear to be propelled by writers wanting to find something similar to compare to the ...

20. Alex Anwandter + Gepe The news of an Anwandter-Gepe supergroup have been speculated for so long it was starting to look like a big joke. We’ve asked them directly and they are in fact, on their way to finishing their first album together. Anwandter’s eccentrics and Gepe’s responsiveness could add up to something truly majestic. In theory, it should be #1, but since we have yet to hear a finished track from the duo, it's only fair to keep it at the bottom of the list, for now. 19. Lost Mapaches Independiente. "YYY" (Pepepe Remix) ♫♫♫ Guadalajara ...
