Los Misterios - Planeta Misterio CD (Self-Released)
Definitely one of the top bands of the last few years or so - this Spanish band combines surf, spy and soundtrack music from the 50’s-70’s with absolutely amazing cover artwork. Each of their releases is a masterpiece - the music is fun, catchy and melodic. You’ll hear guitars and organs work together, backed by a punchy rhythm section. The production is perfect as well. In some ways they occupy a middle ground between the Tiki Tones, Laika & The Cosmonauts and Fifty Foot Combo, but they’re also completely different. As an example, my favorite song “Chino Zombie” is almost more like the Ghastly Ones Or Bomboras, but it almost has a ska feel to it.
Tracks: Chino Zombie - Olympus Mons - Carrusel Galactico - Pollos Hermanos - Oh, Carino - Franky Motel - Senor Nebulosa - Matalos y Vuelve
