• The energy, the cool melodies, the provocative videos and a lot of noise around. The sophomore release of Alborotador Gomasio was forged on the noisey side of Madrid punk rock.
• Another post hardcore-fueled fruit in my top lists garden. If the previous album of Nueva Vulcano "Los Peces De Colores" sounded quite edgier and stripped-down, "Noveleria" is a smoother record. There's more space in it, and while "Los Peces..." was really cool record, the new one is just better by all measures. 
• Tight and gorgeous yet quite minimalistic country-soaked baroque pop from the latest bird of the Jabalina Musica nest. Papaya's Yanara Espinoza seeks for happiness in more or less traditional formats of a song but somehow she manages to sound absolutely unique. 
• Before recording the new album the Sevillan post shoegaze rock outfit Blacanova moved from Foehn Records to El Genio Equivocado but did not change the artistic vision. Subtle и slow-paced tracks with psychedelia, shoegaze, post rock and dark folk influences for the fans of the band's previous works. 
• Luis Alberto Segura slowly moves towards his painfully underappreciated "Heavenly Hell"'s sound back from the stripped-down-to-the-core "SLNT FLM" template.
• "Parque De Atracciones" definitely is the step forward for Pasajero. The band has matured for these three years that divide the second album from the first one. The songs got stronger, the arrangements got wiser, the sound got more concerned in nuances. Another success for Manuel Cabezali as a producer.
• Experimentation with (or refusal of, in better words) the standard rock song format, flirting with pure stream of consciousness noise, and skipping between genres. With these things involved it's a pure artistic achievent for (lo:mueso) that this album doesnt sound quirky or pretentious. 

Alborotador Gomasio "Los Excesos de los Niños"

Alborotador Gomasio "Los Excesos de los Niños" (p)2015 Limbo Starr

One of the first albums of the year, this melodic punk/noise pop effort is the sophomore [official] release of Alborotador Gomasio, now under Limbo Starr wing. You know, it's a cool record. For me as a fan of Maryland this is really cool record cos there are so much similarities in stylistics between the bands - except for the moments when the tousled jangle-pop is prevailing over the cohesive and massive guitar pop/punk attacks. Anyway, the juvenile and potential one, this album is brimming with melodies, and most of the songs most likely will stuck in your head for days and weeks.
The provocative video for the first single "Los Residuos de la Sociedad" contains the visual resemblances of such the emblematic female protesting acts as Pussy Riot (Russia, the coloured balaclavas) and FEMEN (Ukraine, the writings on naked tits).

The best tracks: 14, Si Te Matas, Los Excesos de los Ninos, Los Rastros de Nacho
