A-Tirador Láser

A-Tirador Láser formed in Barcelona around 2005, with Daniel Granados on vocals and guitar, Anna Callau on drums, and Eduard Tudela handling electronics. Their name translates to 'Laser Gun,' which fits their approach to sound. They've worked with musicians like John Zorn and Ikue Mori, but the core trio has stayed consistent.

Their music pulls from free jazz, experimental rock, and noise, built around polyrhythms and dissonant harmonies. Songs like 'Otro Rosa' and '¿Despertás?' show how they layer these elements into something that doesn't settle into one genre. The track 'Otro Rosa' from their 2010 album became a reference point in experimental circles for its vocal intensity over shifting rhythms.

They've put out albums like 'Germà' in 2013 and 'Lluvia Constante' in 2016, the latter with Zorn. Their sound has drawn both attention and skepticism for how far it pushes conventional structures, but they've kept at it without much compromise. The work remains focused on texture and rhythm rather than familiar song forms.
