El caballo rojo

The sophomore album from this Spanish band is a classic of the national slowcore scene. 'El caballo rojo' (The Red Horse) is a dark and dense record, blending the tense, quiet-loud dynamics of post-rock with the emotional sincerity of emo and moments of abrasive noise rock. It's a mysterious, anxious, and deeply melancholic work that stands as a key document of 90s Spanish indie.
