This is one band I've never invested much time in, I'm sorry to say. I've followed most of the big pre-pre-alternative bands like Can, Neu, Beefheart, and of course the Velvets, but I don't think I am too into this band.
I think it's probably an effect of my middle class white American upbringing... but I just don't enjoy the sound of the Spanish language when put to music. French, definitely. German, sure. Icelandic/Norwegian, most definitely. But I simply don't enjoy the sound of the vocals here. The music is quite good, but I find the vocals halting and interrupting.
Great name though.
