OUR TRIP IS COMING TO AN END.
AFTER 18 STOPS, THIS TRIP TO THE DEEPEST UNDERGROUND SCENES IN SPAIN CALLED 'GRADOS. MINUTOS. SEGUNDOS.' COMES TO AN END WITH ANOTHER 6 BANDS SUCH AS BATTOSAI, PYRAMIDAL, HÍBRIDO, KABBALAH, ARENNA AND HERE THE CAPTAIN SPEAKING, THE CAPTAIN IS DEAD.
'Grados. Minutos. Segundos.' is a no-return trip around the four cardinal points of the deepest underground music scenes in Spain. Thanks to a boxset full of previously unreleased tracks of 24 indie Spanish bands you'll have the chance to understand how's the sound of this new generation of independent musicians. You don't want to be told about it, you want to be part of it.
'Grados. Minutos. Segundos.' will be made of 12x 7" vinyl records (to be released in 4 batches from June 2021 to May 2022), being each of them shared by 2 bands with apparently no connection at all.
But in this limited-edition boxset you won't only find bands coming from Spinda Records roster as it is also open to others in order to get a solid project for the fans to enjoy. From the psychedelia of Acid Mess, Atavismo, Arenna or The Soulbreaker Company to the heavier sounds of Rosy Finch, Adrift, Domo or Santo Rostro; without forgetting the alternative rock of Medicina, Habitar La Mar, The Dry Mouths and Laverge; the hard rock of Partícula, Saturna or Kabbalah; the progressive rock of Moura, Pyramidal, Híbrido or Cró!; as well as new bands such us Cemënteri, Here The Captain Speaking The Captain Band, Battosai, Mía Turbia or Mondo Infiel. Fitting 24 bands in the same project can be tricky, and it is; but Spinda Records are here to have fun... Spinda Records is here for "fiesta".
This boxset 'Grados. Minutos. Segundos.' has a triple goal:
- FOR THE FANS: letting them know about the different local music scenes in Spain and promoting bands that don't follow the rules and chart tendencies.
- FOR THE BANDS: giving them chances to work together with other bands will hopefully create new synergies, creativity and potential touring. This is the real reason of having split records. We only gave one conditions to the bands: "you've got 6 minutes to do whatever you want".
- FOR THE LABEL: say it out load: "Sub Pop, Glitterhouse and Blues Funeral Recordings rule". They smashed it when it comes to promote their bands and coming up with new ideas, and this is our way of saying "Thanks guys for everything!". Real inspiration.
For the artwork, Spinda Records joins forces with top-class-studio The Braves Church (they worked together in the past on other releases of Spanish bands such as Catorce, Dirty Army, Habitar La Mar and De La Cuna A La Tumba). Unique designs and concept that will make you (the buyer) experience again what a great boxset is, because "playing a vinyl is way more than listening to the music, it's about the ritual". 'Grados. Minutos. Segundos.' is made by collectors for collectors.
Single releases between 5th May 2021 and 4th May 2022
'Grados. Minutos. Segundos.' works as a subscription, which means that music fans will get both digital and physical releases in 4 batches: May-June, August-October and November-December 2021; and February-May 2022.
