Monterrey, Mexico (2002 – present)

Album , the eclectic electronic rock quartet formed in Monterrey, Mexico in 2002, has released four independent albums: “Eureka sön” (2003), “Microbricolages” (2006), “Album Vs. Monterrey” (2007) and “Cancer Baby” (2008). These four albums have been amazingly well received by the critics not only in the Mexican Independent scene, but also internationally.

Album´s live act at Austin, TX´s South by Southwest Music Festival was described by the New York Times as: “a galvanizing late night set, Album merged rippling electronic loops and effects with fierce garage-rock rave-ups”.

The experience Album has gathered while touring in Mexico has allowed them to deliver intense, organic performances of the trademark electro-rock sound displayed in their albums.

Their debut album “Eureka sön” has been dubbed “Mexico´s OK Computer or Paul´s Boutique, maybe both” by Time Out New York, and was awarded UM´s Album of the Year in 2004.

Album´s sophomore release “Microbricolages” is already receiving praises from the critics and getting constant airplay in college and rock radio stations. Time Out New York called it “an hour-long barrage of brief, densely constructed gems—none of which sound Mexican in any conventional sense. But the group’s confident, polished appropriation of pop detritus from everywhere and everywhen assures that Microbricolages loses nothing in translation.”
