A Spanish indie rock group whose songs build worlds from introspective lyrics and textured arrangements.
For a good sense of their sound, try 'Copenhague' first. It's got that mix of storytelling and musical texture they do so well.
They formed in 1998 in Tres Cantos, Madrid, taking their name from a giant tortoise in 'The Neverending Story.' Their 2008 debut 'Un Día en el Mundo' brought recognition for its layered sound. Songs like 'Copenhague' and 'Los Días Raros' show their knack for evocative storytelling within indie rock and folk textures.
They started as young musicians playing together, working through early years with self-funded recordings and live shows. After their 2008 debut, they followed with albums like 'Mapas' in 2011 and 'La Deriva' in 2014. The latter gave its name to one of their well-known songs.
Keep it compact: a lyric you come back to, a live memory, or the part of the catalog you would point someone toward first.
