That is precisely what Pacomoto (G.A.S. Drummers), Jorge García (Adrift, El Páramo), Víctor Teixeira (Giganto, Another Kind Of Dead) and Raúl Lorenzo (Sou Edipo) must have thought when they decided to lock themselves in the rehearsal room at some point in 2020 and start writing songs without any preconceived idea, except to experiment.
The result of those two years of experimentation by Loma Baja is 'Piscinas Verticales', an album whose concept goes around the idea of the spontaneous and surreal, as if it were the soundtrack of your worst nightmare. Their sound goes beyond music genres -it's post-everything-, although you can see some similarities with bands like Beak, Portishead, Fugazi, True Widow or Liars.
After releasing the first single "Boda Final / Velorio" on 26th April, Loma Baja puts out "La Emboscada" as second single on 12th May, just two weeks before their debut album is available.
The band say this about the song:
"It’s about nightmares, places that generate strange feelings and about the hidden side of things. The songs seek to generate that feeling that stays with you after having seen something weird. This album is the result of the search for a common point between four guys who come from different places and who found a place in the darkness. We like “trial and error” and this is the way we wrote ‘Piscinas verticales’, mixing elements from kraut-rock, post-punk, alt-rock, post-rock and other exotic music.”
Piscinas Verticales' was recorded live in the Summer of 2022 at Metropol Studios (SP) by Rafa Camisón; then mixed at Estudio 79 (SP) by Rafa Camisón; and mastered at Ultramarinos Costa Brava (SP) by Víctor García.
The album is coming out on 26th May 2023 through the collaboration between indie labels Spinda Records (SP), Lay Bare Recordings (NL), Clostridium Records (GE) and Echodelick Records (US). Album pre-order available at label sites from 21st April.
