Amor Indio
Amor Indio (color)
The first official publication of unreleased recording sessions dating back to 89-90. The record presents a singular brew of 60's inspired sounds, where Garage and Beat meet Spy Movie Soundtracks. Amor Indio were the darlings of the late 80's underground in Buenos Aires, a scene where the freaks mingled with the fashionistas in hedonist parties. This release includes a poster and liner notes with pictures, written in English and Spanish, revealing the story of Argentina's best kept secret. Fully licensed and developed in conjunction with the band. Trailblazers don't always end up harvesting the fruits of their labor. Such is the case of Amor Indio, who in the mid-to-late 80's Argentina, ushered a new scene after their wake: a new sound that occupied a blurry space situated after Punk Rock, but before Indie or Alternative Rock became codified and established. Steeped in 60's signifiers, psychedelic clothes and electric organ combos, Amor Indio and their contemporaries were not looking to mimic that particular decade, but rather trying to re-imagine it. Despite the hype, fan adoration and even some unlikely brushes with Argentinian rock royalty, the band faded away as the new decade dawned, leaving virtually no commercial releases. Today, their unreleased studio sessions see the light of day for the first time after more than 30 years.
