Los Frenéticos - Teletransportación LP (Hi-Tide)
It’s a brand new release by Argentina’s Los Freneticos, one of the best surf/instro bands in recent years. Their powerful, yet melodic sound won me over many surf guitar fans with their El Playa and El Sonido Que Perdura releases, yet as amazing as those were, this 12 track album tops them. The release features eye-popping cover art and has been pressed on shiny black vinyl. All of the songs are originals, and yet while it’s obvious they love their faster tunes, designed to whip fans and live audiences into a frenzy, there are tunes like “La Cautiva”, a tasty ballad featuring some great lead guitar work. Organ is featured prominently throughout too - while the guitars are the stars, it is fun to see the organ and guitars trade melodies.
Note: This is pressed on black vinyl and does not come with a download card.
