FIN DEL MUNDO

BAND DISCOVERED 
I had been tuning in to a few live showcases and radio appearances on Audiotree and KEXP when YouTube recommended a video by Fin del Mundo. Even though I didn’t know what to expect, I clicked on it anyway. What I heard was very emotional, well-structured, and harmonious. No big breaks, no hustle and bustle, sometimes even a little monotonous. Post-punk meets shoegaze and dreamgaze. No frills, straightforward, and simply beautifully melodic. If I’m not mistaken, Fin del Mundo is the first Argentine band I’ve ever heard of. I’m pretty sure that this album and the previous one from 2023, Todo Va Hacia El Mar, will find their way into my record collection.

FAVORITE LYRIC LINE from Vivimos lejos
Todos buscan su lugar bajo la tormenta
No quiero arrastrarte más a mi marea

CHARACTERISTICS THAT APPLY
dreamy | decelerating | harmonious | heartfelt

BESIDES THAT
Fin del Mundo were on their third European tour last month, stopping off in Spain, Portugal and France. Maybe they’ll extend their next tour to other countries too. I’d love to see them live.
