For fans of Lali Puna, Boards Of Canada, Chromatics and The XX. One of the more personal projects to come out of Madrid in a long time. They are the heirs to that tradition of mixing risk, vanguard sound and pop melodies, with a taste for a specific aesthetic and an artistic spirit that has marked bands like Kraftwerk, The Residents, Stereolab, and so many others. Interrogación Amor's first album, <i>Vómito y Mariposas</i>, came out digitally in, 2020, when they were still a quartet. One year later, the project has taken a turn, with just Carlos and Javier on board, and the end of the era confirmed with the release of "mariposas y vómito", where all of the songs from the original are revised with the help of special guests like Shego, Dani, Valdivia, Lisasinson and Ginebras. But the original is the embodiment of a cult album, and that's why, a year after its digital release, Elefant release this collection as a precious transparent, limited-edition, 10" vinyl. 

The opening track, "8,2 segundos", is spoken-word ambiance, like The XX blowing up autotune, and starts things off by putting all the cards on the table. "chicas guapas" is the hit. Definitely. It's slippery but magnetic. An impeccable, epic chorus that is under cover and contained. After the guapas (pretty girls, in Spanish) come the ugly boys - "chicos feos". Who can resist a chorus that begs, almost whispering, "Sólo pienso que eres guapo / Cuando pasas por mi lado / Montando en tu skate / Ojalá que fueras gay" (I only think you're cute / When you pass by / On your skateboard / I wish you were gay)? "mentira" returns to weaving ambiance, silky textures among guitars with choruses and rhythmic bases that remind us of Lali Puna And Boards Of Canada. But "vómito" is a stylistic leap: post-punk with a thundering, saturated bass, rebellion and resentment, lies and reproaches, elimination.<i> Vómito y Mariposas</i> is an emotional journey, a turbulent mood. It has that inexplicable and incomprehensible magic; it makes you tremble, but it excites you and it draws you in. It is captivating
