In a recent visit to Spain, Café Tacvba’s Emmanuel del Real and Joselo stumbled across Napoleon Solo, a band they fell in love so deeply, that they quickly spread the word on this very exciting new band. Their incredibly catchy single “Tiene Que Acabar” has been hitting the radio quite loudly, but the band has surprised us by shooting a video for “Lolaila Carmona”, one of the peak moments on their breakthrough album Napoleon Solo en la Opera. In a strange disco twist, Napoleon Solo maneuvers a song and a video to dance to while having a nightmare at the movies. The vocal variety and distraction make up an amusing and remarkable song, this time framed by tense, smart and sardonic good old creature fun. Grab their song "Tiene Que Acabar" at Fonogramaticos Volumen 8.

New Single: Hello Seahorse! - "Casa Vacía"
After the astounding success of Bestia, Mexico’s new great band got back to the recording studio fairly quick to record Lejos. No tan lejos, the third full album by Hello Seahorse! By now, the band has completely bonded with main producer Yamil Rezc who captures, extracts and pushes Hello Seahorse! outside their own dreams, at least instrumentally. In their first single “Casa Vacía” they teamed up with producer Money Mark (Bestie Boys), who was astonished by LoBlondo’s top-notch vocals a few months ago and now puts full attention to her glorious instrument. “Casa Vacía” serves from that gifted and well-trained voice, this time really outputting nostalgia for celestial echoing.If they moved from bedroom-pop to haunted house-rock in the …And the Jellyfish Parade-Bestia bridge, “Casa Vacía” sounds like Hello Seahorse! experiencing the heavens. The song recalls those beautiful passages from “El Recuerdo”, "Volando Me Voy" and the falling aftermath of Enjambre’s “Impacto.” It’s not the catchiest song out there, and it doesn’t smell like a hit either, but finding beauty in emptiness is like appreciating silence as a narrative, a rare beauty. For a band that has proven to be transcendental since day one, “Casa Vacia” is a knockout.
