Today Babasónicos release their new album Trinchera, the
first studio album in four years. As suggested by the title, the album
offers a retreat from the current world, an ethereal paradise where the
Argentine band displays all of their art in a manifesto of 11 songs that
combine desire, mythology, awareness, existentialism and banality.
The obsession with the perfect sound, exquisite arrangements,
infectious choruses, and the desire to transcend through the work are present
in this new project by Babasónicos, which is without a doubt one of the
most transversal and anticipated in Spanish rock this year. The album is now
available on digital platforms and will soon be available in CD and Vinyl
formats.
The single “La izquierda de la noche” and the
current single “Bye Bye” were the first previews of the album and
account for the band’s relevance, positioning Babasónicos as a featured artist
on the most noteworthy playlists in the region. “Bye Bye” also
has a powerful presence on radio and television stations across the continent
and is currently number 1 in airplay ranking in Argentina.
Trinchera was conceived between 2020 and 2021 in the Juno studios in Buenos Aires. The album
was recorded and mixed by Gustavo Iglesias, who also artistically
produced the project with Babasónicos, and was mastered by Greg Calbi
and Steve Fallone at Sterling Sound in New York. Guest musicians
include Carca and Gustavo “Tuta” Torres. The cover art was
designed by Alejandro Ros.
Furthermore, the band will begin
their Bye Bye Tour in May, which will offer a journey through
their unique artistic synesthesia and will reveal live a small selection of
songs from Trinchera. The tour will
extend through September and has dates confirmed in Mexico, Argentina, Chile,
the United States, and Europe. In Buenos Aires, the tickets for the June
25 date at Movistar Arena were sold out in just 72 hours.
