La Animas Del Cuarto Obscuro - S/T

La Vida Es Un Mus Discos - MUS324

Like an apparition LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO emerged in the Mexican underground scene of the late 80's and vanished quickly after leaving a couple of coveted artefacts. Before them there were just a few Mexican bands experimenting with those brand-new rhythms. The ill-fated attempts to play this style of music, rooted in the simplicity of punk mixed with melancholy and sombre chords that we nowadays call post-punk. While bands like SIZE or SILUETA PALIDA flirted with darker music and aesthetics, the path of LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO was different.

LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO and Toño Sánchez, the brains behind these spectral sounds, had a deep commitment to doom and gloom, at least in their first recording. Songs about the decay you could breathe in the air of Mexico City: Police brutality, urban ghost stories, suicidal notes, and the loneliness and sadness a sensible person suffers in an environment that keeps driving you to desensitization and madness. A true Chilango gothic masterpiece, LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO's first record is an ode to Mexican youthfulness. It's the emotional journey of a youngster who fights for their existence in a country where tradition rules and difference is loathed.

Originally self-released by the band in 1988 and officially reissued for the first time since its original inception
