The release prior to Fin seemed to hint at a more acoustic version of Spanish band Exnovios -- more interested in the studio as an instrument, more electronic, and more subtle. The new dozen songs that make up their fourth LP happily confirm that impression: to the usual unbeatable formula of this Pamplona-based quartet are added new and fascinating layers -- at once fresh yet entirely logical in the evolution of such a unique band within the local scene. Exnovios' new collection of songs wasn't created in a rehearsal space or recorded in a single week in the studio. Rather, it was composed and rehearsed slowly in bedrooms and living rooms -- songs that were later brought into the studio with the idea of finishing building them there. Over the course of nearly a year, the band approached each song one by one, in a handcrafted manner, alongside their trusted ally, producer Guillermo Mutiloa. The result is a treasure trove of songs, perhaps more psych-folk than ever, as acoustic pieces abound -- full of exquisite melodies without abandoning the consciousness-expanding journeys that have made Exnovios a cult favorite: These are often drumless tracks, perhaps with some light percussion, always featuring detailed and exquisite arrangements of guitar, electronics, percussion, and even touches of strings. And despite the reduced presence of drums, fans of the band's legendary fuzz-guitar reverbcore sound won't be disappointed: there's the psychedelic "Viaje Alucinante," full of their classic riffs; their brutal cover of Psychic TV's "Godstar" (drenched in echo and eccentric vocal effects); and the perfectly crafted "Naves Misteriosas," which pulls off the impossible feat of sounding like "Cerca de las Estrellas"-era Los Pekenikes in the verses, Phil Spector in the chorus, and the Ramones in the post-chorus. Fin reveals more sides and nuances of Exnovios than ever before -- a festival of eclectic styles that all remain true to the musical vision that has defined them over the past decade, with their melodic powers at the peak of their talent.
