“On El Existential, we feel like we have moved past any retro or novelty tags to explore even more timeless musical and lyrical themes,” explained guitarist and producer Adrian Quesada, “and multiple members of the band stepped up to contribute to the writing process. It’s clearly our strongest lyrical effort to date with concepts based around the album’s title in addition to tales of betrayal and deceit, surreal dreams, growing older and wiser, and, of course, women and relationships.”
In addition, El Existential works with, rather than against, its vintage roots, carefully and purposely introducing current and important lyrical subject matter into structures and arrangements that would have never housed them in the past. In essence, the record acts as a bridge between new and old, building on music familiar and forgotten with a sound that’s not only contemporary, but downright infectious. In other words, keep your ears open and your dancing shoes on. Grupo Fantasma plays SOhO (1221 State St.) this Saturday, February 12, at 9 p.m. Call 962-7776 or visit clubmercy.com for tickets and info.
