Historias De Fro

Originally released in 2014, Historias de Frío has become a landmark album in recent Ibero-American shoegaze. The vinyl re-release of Historias de Frío includes the bonus tracks "Titán" and "Doppelgänger." Historias de Frío, the second album by the Ecuadorian band Sexores, which in practice and according to some music media, has the soul of a powerful debut, celebrates 10 years of existence.

Ten years ago, Sexores released their second album, a work that, in essence, was the first step in consolidating their discography. Without thinking much about what that material would mean to the public, and from the solitude of exile, the band embarked on a tour of several cities in Europe and the United States, besides releasing a series of CD copies that eventually sold out once that ethereal and melancholic album became a favourite of many. Historias de Frío would have a profound meaning, both for its members and for a part of the audience that still treasures the songs and the first times they saw the band live. But perhaps, the most important meaning associated with this album is the definition of a musical identity that still accompanies them and that has led them, 14 years later, to an intense period of activity. From the solitary recording of the rhythmic bases of the songs, which began on December 29, 2012, to the desolate reality of having lost the material in a robbery at their studio on June 21, 2013, Historias de Frío is a work with many transversal anecdotes; it is a collection of narratives full of inspiration and a sound construction that has the ability to be assimilated and kept as a great listening experience; and, finally, this work is one of the points to which one can always return to reconnect with those early desires to make music simply for the pleasure of making it. Recorded between Quito and Barcelona, and mastered at The Lodge (New York) by Sarah Register, with cover art by painter Aron Wiesenfeld and photographs by María José Rodríguez, this vinyl reissue includes two bonus tracks, "Titán" and "Doppelgänger," which were released shortly before the launch of "Historias de Frío" and are part of the same creative period.
