Background notes
Archive material and source history
URTZ formed in the Basque Country in the early 1990s, with Iosu Expósito on vocals, Josu Zabala on guitar, Mikel Azpiroz on bass, and Aitor Gorosabel on drums. Their sound leaned toward the atmospheric, with Expósito's vocals floating over Zabala's guitar lines and a steady rhythm section. They released albums like "Ez Da Posible" in 1993 and "Hiru" in 1999.
Their song "Aingeru" became their most recognizable track, a ballad with a shimmering guitar melody and mournful lyrics. Other songs in their catalog include "Aitzakia" and "Bart amets egin nuen." The band's lyrics, often in Basque, tended toward introspective themes.
URTZ maintained a relatively low profile, with their music described as haunting or ethereal by some listeners. They put out another album, "Azken Argia," in 2009. Their work, particularly "Aingeru," found an audience in European alternative circles.
