Esplendor Geometrico - Eurasia / Limited Blue Edition (12" Vinyl + Download)

Limited to 200 copies! Comes with Art print + Download Code for all tracks!

To say HANDS is euphoric is definitely underrated – it’s not every day that you can announce a release by the legend that is Madrid-based act ESPLENDOR GEOMÉTRICO! “Eurasia” contains four all new EG tracks for 2021. And for the historians: This gem comes a full 25 years after the EG contribution to HANDS’ long sold-out 2/3 compilation.

The Esplendor Geométrico sound aesthetic has been a major influence on the HANDS label sound obviously, and the good 20 minutes of “Eurasia” feel like applying a magnifying glass to that: “A Largo Plazo” gets the trademark hypnotic percussion loops rolling, static hiss and un- defined noises are woven into a dense backdrop for hoarse vocals. “El Despertar del Gigante Asiático” features more upfront rhythms set off with a bleeping sound hook and what appears a mess of field-recorded voices – thus said, one can’t help but get captivated by the grinding groove. “La Ruta de la Seda” adds a substantial bass rumble and low-end dynamics, before “Eurasia” embraces sonic ethnology: Almost painfully slow, with a sinister ritual feel, the dense atmosphere working in a delicate contrast to the disruptive vocal outbursts.

Esplendor Geométrico prove once again they inhabit a territory of their own, and 40 years after their inception they still fascinate listeners with their unique twist of infusing a strictly repetitive sound with unmatched vibrant dynamics. Esplendor Geométrico don’t follow trends, Esplendor Geométrico set trends. Prepare to get lost in the intriguing soundscape of “Eurasia”!
