Migala
A great band.
This is my favourite Spanish band ever. What I “suggest” when I force people to get some Spanish rock music at the store. It is the kind of band where memories (oh girls, girls…) come to mind before the guitar tones (and they allways had beautiful guitar tones). Their music was often slumber and cinematic, somewhere between Calexico and Mogwai. Perhaps, an indie mixtape of the sad 90s sung in spanglish is a better description (they even covered Mazzy Star’s “Fade Into You” at some point). These guys are dramatic and pretentious as hell: there is dialogue and cars crashing, one of the songs is “co-authored” by Yeats, some members do indie cinema these days; but man, it works like a beauty.
They disbanded recently. You can find some remains here.
(Today, besides cinema they have a bunch of music side projects, and El Hijo and Fantasy Bar are not too bad.)
