New music from Accidente

Imagine my surprise when, as I preordered the new Kobra 12" from Iron Lung, I discovered that Madrid's Accidente had uploaded a new record on the 7th, their first in four years. Oh, happy day! These Spaniards are SOOOO good!

I absolutely fell in love with Accidente in 2014 with the release of "Amistad Y Rebelión". Tony at Celebrated Summer played it regularly in the store that summer, so I heard it a lot before buying. It hasn't necessarily stayed on my turntable since, but it's a damned good summer record. " Caníbal" looks to be more of the same: think of Propaghandi with female vocals and more than a little Dag Nasty in the guitars. Even in translation, the lyrics are both passionate and relatable, with songs that are smart and still dancable. The grotesque, Ralph Steadman-esque artwork by Mario Riviere is a perfect capper on what should end up on a lot of folks' top ten lists this year. 

A few months ago, I thought we might be fucked for new music this year, so I'm happy to find yet another record that proves me wrong. Check out my favorite track on the new record, "Colze a colze" below, and download the record as a "pay-what-you-want" via Bandcamp.
