Efficient Space present a reissue of
Bélver Yin
's 1991 debut
Luz Bel
. Bélver Yin's soul mining odysseys have been unjustly overlooked for three decades. An anomaly in the Spanish alt-pop scene, their forlorn instrumentals and ethereal romanticism would have struck a chord in the British league of
Felt
,
The Chameleons
,
Cocteau Twins
, and
Dif Juz
, leaving their 1991 debut
Luz Bel
deserving of reappraisal. While coining their band name from a
Jesús Ferrero
novel and quoting Laozi philosophy on album sleeves, Bélver Yin create illuminating textures that unlock a wordless language of memory and adolescent emotion. Formed in Salamanca by self-taught musicians
Pedro Ortega Sánchez
and
José María Martín
, the guitar-bass duo spent two years crafting their divine interplay with interim drummers before submitting a demo to Noisex Music, their only attempt at label courting. The phone rang mere days later with owner and producer
Bernar Marks
(The Dust Sessions) offering to cut an album and the band ventured to Valencia with cloud-touching optimism soon after. Championed by local press, the release fell short of expectation, fueling the mythology of a vanished band known only to the initiated. Varying lineups would, however, continue to work in the shadows under Pedro's direction, recording two spatially arranged follow-ups at their own pace in 1996 and 2005. A glorious debut that undeniably set a high watermark,
Luz Bel
is finally available again, faithfully remastered by
Mikey Young
and featuring bilingual liner notes from
John Gómez
, the authoritative ear behind
Outro Tempo
. Includes download code.
