Lo Mejor De 2023. Top 50 Albums. 31 - 40


BC = Bandcamp, SP = Spotify

40. TOU "Creixin Els Arbres
The Catalan artist Albert Segura mixes electronica, synth-pop, kosmische musik, early era Depeche Mode on his debut longplay to make a listener dive into some unsettling atmosphere. The track "La Guerra" could easily fit for a totalitarian sect drama's soundtrack. 

39. Charnego "Regreso Al Futuro"
This indie supergroup consists of Atención Tsunami, Biznaga and Being Berber members. At the beginning of the disc it seems like Biznaga connection prevails but as it rolls on the tense electro-rock rhythms of Atención Tsunami along with overall psychotic atmosphere of their peers Disciplina Atlántico starts to dominate.

38. Sonic Beast "Accidental
Another supergroup in this list. Bad Mongos, Bullitt, No More Lies, Illinoise, Ultramarinos Costabrava Studios, brothers Garcia, Sant Feliu de Guixols... For those initiated, each and every word here could cause an urge to grab it immediately.

37. Bons Nois "Delta
This delicate and tight indie rock album with touches of dreampop shocks with its sonic excellentce - especially taking in mind that it was recorded by the young band entirely on their own.

36. Belén Bandera "Bamboo, Nature's Calligraphy
A neo-classical ambient masterpiece. 70% of this disc is silence - but what a beautiful silence it is.

35. La Paloma "Todavía No
The metropolitan quartet effectively juggles the Everclear, Weezer, Cala Vento and Triangulo De Amor Bizarro influences adding huge amounts of youthful anergy.

34. Bullitt "Major B
For a time being I had no idea how to tag Bullitt. The term "melodic punk" gets too close to "pop punk" who Bullitt surely aren't. Power pop? Alt rock? Yes, but not really. This album helps greatly to come to conclusion, so now I know how to describe their music correctly: just imagine Bad Religion recruiting Noel Gallagher for lead guitar.

33. Triángulo de Amor Bizarro "SED
Arguably the best TdAB album? I believe "Salve Discordia" is still at the top spot but "SED" comes close. Less emotionally chaotic than its predecessor "triangulodeamorbizarro" (p)2019, "SED" adds some new colors to the band's palette without spoiling anything they brought to perfection before.

32. Florent Y Yo "Florent Y Yo
The songs of Los Planetas' founding guitar player are covered with haze of dreampop and lightweight psychedelia, at times sounding like if The Pains Of Being Pure At Heart turned to kraut rock.

31. Havalina "Maquinaria
After sonically entertaining but otherwise non-consistent and emotionless "Muerdesombra" Havalina crafted their best album since "h" along with former bass player Ignacio Celma returning to the fold.
