Indie rock band Minimal, one of the most interesting bands in the Latin alternative rock scene in the U.S., has recently released “Fauna”, the first single of their upcoming fourth album by the same name to be released on July 10th.
“Fauna” embodies the band’s natural rock vibe with blues carried along by a heavy bass. The title track kicks off the album, which the band decided to approach and record in a different style from their previous recordings.
The song contains a certain decadence; making references to night life, alcohol and the sensual attitude of “no regrets” that characterizes the band’s existence, the track is also characterized by the distorted bass that is significantly aggressive within the production. The song touches on experimental aspects, starting off in a traditional rock blues tempo and transitioning into an up-tempo rock tune.
The album produced by multi-Grammy winner Rafael Lazzaro, was experimentally recorded at an antique church in Wynwood, in the widely known street art district and the epicenter for art in Miami, where the band lives and gets much of their inspiration from. The whole album was recorded in a week, indulging in the church’s raw atmospheric ability to insert a different tone to the album.
The band has been critically acclaimed with their previous album and is no stranger to the public eye, MTV IGGY praised their single “A Deriva,” off their previous album Antibalas Corazón, produced by Sebastian Krys, saying that the band “deals with love and loss in the best way they know how – en canción.”
Minimal are Gabriel Ayala (Vocals & Guitar), Roberto Taninaka (Guitars & Samplers), Fernando Llanas (Bass), Alejandro Angee (Drums & Samplers)
“Fauna” is now available on iTunes and all digital stores.
