Cesárea by AUTOMATICS

This was the debut album of this band from Jaén, Spain. It perfectly documents their raunchy energy of their live sets, based in frenzy noisy guitar attacks and pop melodies.

It was in 1991 when five friends lacking the most minimal notions decided to do what nobody was doing in those days. And the recognition was just around the corner: their first demo was finalist in the national competition that Rock de Lux magazine organizes every year. The compliments of the fanzines, specialized magazines and alternative radios makes them record their second demo, a rich sample of noise in debt with the best SPACEMEN 3 and JESUS AND MARY CHAIN. The magazine Ruta 66 chose from that demo “In Your Bloody Heart” to be included in their “Spanish Bombs vol. III” compilation.

After a third demo they sign for Elefant Records was followed. Shortly after “Drive Wheel EP” would see the light, first cast of the band, in which the great “I Want Rain” would stand out, a puzzle of irresistible tearful noise. Changes could be noticed, a strengthening of personality drawn in their fourth demo: more compact sound, more edged, much more worked.

“Sixty” was the preview single from this first album, a record that definitely places their sound where they deserve. They perpetrate sonic crimes with the characteristic tenderness of psycho-lovers of the purest melody. Disarmed when you listen to “The Slaughterhouse” or “Fraguel Rock”, you won’t even be able to move yourself. More experimental (“In Your Bloody Heart”), more open than ever, unstoppable. Ultrasensorial songs, hypersweet, marked out by all kind of effects. Painful and hurting, euphoric, vital lyrics.
