Originally released in 2014, Historias de Frío has become a landmark album in recent Ibero-American shoegaze. The second album by the Ecuadorian band Sexores, which in practice and according to some music media, has the soul of a powerful debut, celebrates 10 years of existence with this vinyl re-release via Buh Records. In 2014, the band, then based in Barcelona, independently released an album that surprisingly received the affection of specialized critics, leading Sexores to embark on a European tour and consider them a revelation of Ibero-American shoegaze and dream pop. Historias de Frío would have a profound meaning, both for its members and for a part of the audience that still treasures the songs and the first times they saw the band live. But perhaps, the most important meaning associated with this album is the definition of a musical identity that still accompanies them and that has led them, 14 years later, to an intense period of activity. From the solitary recording of the rhythmic bases of the songs, which began on December 29, 2012, to the desolate reality of having lost the material in a robbery at their studio on June 21, 2013, Historias de Frío is a work with many transversal anecdotes; it is a collection of narratives full of inspiration and a sound construction that has the ability to be assimilated and kept as a great listening experience; and, finally, this work is one of the points to which one can always return to reconnect with those early desires to make music simply for the pleasure of making it. Recorded between Quito and Barcelona, and mastered at The Lodge (New York) by Sarah Register, with cover art by painter Aron Wiesenfeld and photographs by María José Rodríguez, this vinyl reissue includes two bonus tracks, "Titán" and "Doppelgänger," which were released shortly before the launch of Historias de Frío and are part of the same creative period.

Salamanca, the fifth and darkest moment in Sexores discography, is a journey through the different passages of its sound history. The Mexico-based duo creates a tribute to all the witches who were persecuted and serves as an introduction to various types of magic. The lyrics are the result of an exhaustive investigation that collects elements of folklore from various parts of the planet and absorbs an unusual power and meaning when music enters some darker passages explored by the band in collaboration with various female Latin American artists: a mixture of darkwave, dreampop, poetry, magic, and sound experimentation. Salamanca is a kind of pagan fest, a coven, and a celebration for the ten years of the band's career. For the most part, free software was used on the album's production process avoiding the implicit restrictions when using proprietary software and seeking technological independence within a work that seeks freedom as the main objective. Cover art by Amy Haslehurst. Edition of 300.

Sexores is one of the most important bands that have emerged in Ecuador and they are one of the biggest references of the electronic dream pop sound in Latin America. East / West by Sexores is a double album that reflects their idea of evolution as a band. On one hand, there are eight synth-pop songs with a very marked aesthetic; on the other, the band got into experimenting with different types of instruments to create environments that go along with a side that they did not want to leave behind. East / West is a perfect balance between an idea of the band that gazed at their shoes and the legacy of a whole generation of music made with synthesizers and futurism. East / West was produced by Daniel Pasquel and co-produced by Sexores.
