Sexores - Historias De Frio [VINYL]

Originally released in 2014, "Historias de Frio" has become a landmark album in recent Ibero-American shoegaze. The vinyl re-release of "Historias de Frio" will include the bonus tracks "Titan" and "Doppelganger." "Historias de Frio," the second album by the Ecuadorian band Sexores, which in practice and according to some music media, has the soul of a powerful debut, celebrates 10 years of existence and is set for a vinyl re-release via Buh Records in November 2024, accompanied by several dates in various cities across Latin America. In 2014, the band, then based in Barcelona, independently released an album that surprisingly received the affection of specialized critics, leading Sexores to embark on a European tour and consider them a revelation of Ibero-American shoegaze and dream pop. -- Ten years ago, Sexores released their second album, a work that, in essence, was the first step in consolidating their discography. Without thinking much about what that material would mean to the public, and from the solitude of exile, the band embarked on a tour of several cities in Europe and the United States, besides releasing a series of CD copies that eventually sold out once that ethereal and melancholic album became a favorite of many. "Historias de Frio" would have a profound meaning, both for its members and for a part of the audience that still treasures the songs and the first times they saw the band live. But perhaps, the most important meaning associated with this album is the definition of a musical identity that still accompanies them and that has led them, 14 years later, to an intense period of activity. From the solitary recording of the rhythmic bases of the songs, which began on December 29, 2012, to the desolate reality of having lost the material in a robbery at their studio on June 21, 2013, "Historias de Frio" is a work with many transversal anecdotes; it is a collection of narratives full of inspiration and a sound construction that has the ability to be assimilated and kept as a great listening experience; and, finally, this work is one of the points to which one can always return to reconnect with those early desires to make music simply for the pleasure of making it. Recorded between Quito and Barcelona, and mastered at The Lodge (New York) by Sarah Register, with cover art by painter Aron Wiesenfeld and photographs by Maria Jose Rodriguez, this vinyl reissue includes two bonus tracks, "Titan" and "Doppelganger," which were released shortly before the launch of "Historias de Frio" and are part of the same creative period.
