about

To say we at HANDS are euphoric is definitely underrated – it’s not every day that you can announce a release by the legend that is Madrid-based act ESPLENDOR GEOMÉTRICO “Eurasia” contains four all new EG tracks for 2021 and comes in 200 blue and yellow vinyl copies each, and in the digital format respectively. And for the historians: This gem comes a full 25 years after the EG contribution to our long sold-out 2/3 compilation.
The Esplendor Geométrico sound aesthetic has been a major influence on the HANDS label sound obviously, and the good 20 minutes of “Eurasia” feel like applying a magnifying glass to that: “A Largo Plazo” gets the trademark hypnotic percussion loops rolling, static hiss and undefined noises are woven into a dense backdrop for hoarse vocals. “El Despertar Del Gigante Asiático” features more upfront rhythms set off with a bleeping sound hook and what appears a mess of field-recorded voices – thus said, one can’t help but get captivated by the grinding groove. “La Ruta De La Seda” adds a substantial bass rumble and low-end dynamics, before “Eurasia” embraces sonic ethnology: Almost painfully slow, with a sinister ritual feel, the dense atmosphere working in a delicate contrast to the disruptive vocal outbursts.
Esplendor Geométrico prove once again they inhabit a territory of their own, and 40 years after their inception they still fascinate listeners with their unique twist of infusing a strictly repetitive sound with unmatched vibrant dynamics. Esplendor Geométrico don’t follow trends, Esplendor Geométrico set trends. We invite you to get lost in the intriguing soundscape of “Eurasia”!
