Captcha Records has unearthed another Mexican gem with the band Has A Shadow, and their upcoming November 12th release for the label, Sky Is Hell Black, was recorded and mixed by Alberto Gonzalez of Guadalajara’s Lorelle Meets the Obsolete. The band features members Victor “Remi” Garay on bass, Rodolfo Samperio on guitar, Daniel Garciano on organ, guitar and vocals, with Gonzalez providing drums and some guitar on the new LP, as well as fulfilling his role as producer. Sky Is Hell Black was recorded thru the winter of 2012 in Mexico City, in a house where bassist “Remi” Garay used to live as a child, and on the track “John Lennon“, the band scrapes up huge piles of industrial noise, while using a reeling motorik beat to give things quite the lysergic feel. The track starts with a heavy, buzzing drone and slow building guitar line, before launching into it’s rollicking rhythm, to which Garciano adds his circling organ and foggy black vocals. Fans of Psychocandy-era Jesus and Mary Chain will surely find much to love here! Look for the album to come out on limited edition clear vinyl with “hell black haze”.
