Thank you. Actually, we hadn't explored those genres in this thread yet. There are so many styles to talk about!

Ohh okay, thanks; it's fixed now.

*We already mentioned indie rock-band Havalina before (here and here), but we haven't talked about their two last albums yet: H (2012) and Islas de cemento ("Cement Islands", 2015). The confirmation that this is an outstanding group, really. Absolutely recommended. Don't worry if you can't understand some lyrics. The strongest point of these two albums is the music, and it's fantastic (anyway, in case you're interested, I've translated several lyrics here). These are four examples:

- Norte ("North", 2012) and Cristales rotos sobre el asfalto mojado ("Pieces of Glass on the Wet Road", 2015):

Norte
♫ "He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north,
ahora viajo al sur, ................................ now I go to the south,
hacia el centro del calor. ................................ to the core of the heat.
No más días fríos, ................................ [There will be] no more cold days,
no más decepción, ................................ [there will be] no more disappointments,
cada día un nuevo adiós. ................................ every day [there will be] a new goodbye.

Derretir tu nieve, ................................ [I want] to melt your snow,
empapar el sol, ................................ to drench the sun,
embriagarnos de su luz. ................................ [I want us] to get intoxicated by its light.
He perdido el norte, ................................ I couldn't find north,
te he encontrado aquí, ................................ I've found you here,
en el centro del calor. ................................ in the core of the heat." ♫

- Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota ("A Watch with a Broken Dial", 2015) and El estruendo ("The Blast", 2012):

Un reloj de pulsera con la esfera rota

♫ "La hierba finalmente ................................ Grass has finally
ha dejado de crecer ................................ stopped growing
bajo el puente. ................................ under the bridge.

Todos los recuerdos, ................................ All my memories,
los trozos de mi cuerpo ................................ my buried
enterrados ................................ body parts
quedarán conmigo ................................ will remain with me
para siempre; ................................ forever;
se borrarán de aquí ................................ they will vanish from here
lentamente. ................................ slowly.

Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid
de este cuerpo ................................ of this body
solamente espero ................................ I just hope
sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you
con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump.

Mi lengua y mi cerebro ................................ My tongue and my brain
en un charco, ................................ into a puddle,
los dedos de mis pies ................................ my toes
desparramados. ................................ scattered.

Mientras me desprendo ................................ While I get rid
de este cuerpo ................................ of this body
solamente espero ................................ I just hope
sorprenderte ................................ that I surprise you
con este salto mortal. ................................ with this deadly jump." ♫

And in 2017... a new album! Released only five days ago. It is titled Muerdesombra, which could be translated as Shadowbiter. Once again, we can see the influences from psychedelic stoner rock:

- Alta Tormenta I ("High Storm I") and Abismoide ("Abyssoid"):

Alta Tormenta I

♫ "Después de un lento atardecer ................................ After a long sunset
habrá una Alta Tormenta; ................................ there will be a High Storm;
ya van cuatro este mes. ................................ the fourth one this month.
Mis recuerdos no consiguen permenecer, ................................ My memories are unable to remain,
rocas y truenos ocupan su lugar. ................................ rocks and thunders take their place.

Otro lento amanecer ................................ Another one long sunrise
abrazado al destino. ................................ tied to destiny.
Su tacto es frío; ................................ Its touch is cold;
la muerte lo mantiene vivo. ................................ death keeps it alive.

Me busca, me encuentra ................................ It looks for me, it finds me,
la Alta Tormenta. ................................ the High Storm.
Me quiere, nos quiere. ................................ It loves me, it loves us.
No temas, ya te encontrará. ................................ Don't be afraid, it will find you.

Hemos venido a jugar, ................................ We have come to play,
las piezas encajan a la perfección. ................................ pieces fit together perfectly.
En otro lento anochecer ................................ During another one long sunset
he preguntado al viento. ................................ I've asked the wind a question.
Su voz es suave, su tacto difuso. ................................ Its voice is soft, its touch is vague.

Me busca, me encuentra ................................ It looks for me, it finds me,
la Alta Tormenta. ................................ the High Storm.
Me quiere, nos quiere. ................................ It loves me, it loves us.
No temas, ya te encontrará. ................................ Don't be afraid, it will find you.

Y tras dejar este lugar ................................ And after leaving this place
la Tormenta vuelve a arrasar ................................ the Storm razes everything again,
y de una vez nos hace entender ................................ and all at once it makes us realize
que no somos nada. ................................ that we are nothing.

Te busca, te encuentra ................................ It looks for you, it finds you,
la Alta Tormenta. ................................ the High Storm.
Teme.... ................................ Be afraid...
teme.... ................................ be afraid...
teme. ................................ be afraid.
Ya viene. ................................ It's coming on." ♫

- Órbitas ("Orbits") and Malditos mamíferos ("Damn Mammals"):

Órbitas

♫ "Puedo soltarme y agarrarme en cualquier lugar. ................................ I can leave or settle anywhere.
Sólo quiero estar orbitando en tu interior. ................................ I just want to be orbiting on your inside.
En tu pesar no hay dolor, ................................ In your sadness there is no pain,
sólo gravedad. ................................ it's just gravity,
Sólo gravedad. ................................ It's just gravity.

Hay palabras que no saben aterrizar. ................................ Some words can't touch down.
Lo que nos une no nos sabe separar. ................................ What unites us is unable to break us up.
No es dolor, sólo gravedad. ................................ It's not pain, just gravity.
Somos fuertes. ................................ We are strong.
Somos fuertes. ................................ We are strong.

Aunque no decidas dónde ir, ................................ Even if you don't decide where to go,
llévame contigo siempre. ................................ always take me with you.
Llévame contigo siempre. ................................ Always take me with you

Hay planetas que no entienden su orbitar. ................................ Some planets don't understand how their orbit works.
Somos fuertes aunque a veces sólo puedas ver ................................ We are strong, though sometimes you can only see
la distancia. ................................ the distance.

No es dolor, ................................ It's not pain,
sólo gravedad. ................................ it's just gravity.
Sólo gravedad. ................................ It's just gravity.
................................
Sólo gravedad. ................................ Just gravity.
Sólo gravedad. ................................ Just gravity." ♫

P.S.: Brilliant analogy between an elliptical orbit and a relationship: Sometimes it looks like your partner is going to leave forever, but actually "it's just gravity". As songs says: "Some planets don't understand how their orbit works. / We are strong, though sometimes you can only see the distance".
