'Capsula a kinetic trio from Bilbao, Spain — singer-guitarist Martin Guevara and bassist Coni Duchess, the band’s founding couple, are originally from Argentina — who were supposed to be obsessed with the Velvet Underground (according to a newspaper preview) but were actually a high-velocity union of the Cramps and the Who, coated in corroded glam. Guevara attacked his guitar with a serious case of Pete Townshend, and drummer Alberto Diez was an improbable mix of Keith Moon and the Velvets’ Maureen Tucker: flash with heartbeat. In the last song of the set, a furious space-out that sounded like the Who doing Pink Floyd’s “Set the Controls for the Heart of the Sun,” Guevara swallowed his mike Lux Interior-style and scraped his guitar strings along the edge of the stage. You don’t get those visuals with Capsula’s new album, Rising Mountains (BCore), but you get the idea — and everything I heard.'
David Fricke. Fricke's Picks. Rolling Stone.
April 2009.
'Capsula sounded alternately like straight-up scuzzy garage punk and like Death Valley 69-era Sonic Youth if Kim Gordon sang all their stuff. Pretty good! And I definitely wouldn't have heard them if they weren't playing so loud'
Pitchfork.
If one were to create a mathematical formula for the level of a band's awesomeness, it would need to include factors such as: 'Amount Of Guitar Noise,' 'Exoticness Of Members,' and 'Ratio Of Punk Influence To '70s Rock Influence.' Run Capsula's numbers, and the result is: Highly Awesome.
Venus Zine. Chicago.
A great sound...They're one of those great bands that sound like all their influences at virtually the same time and yet concoct a sound all of their own from out of that sonic soup
Musos's Guide. UK.
Stunning, explosive, fully opened.. a result sublime.
A Decouvrir Absolument. France.
There is something tangibly atavistic in the sound that Capsula conjure on stage, a basic electrical pulse that protects you from external contamination in an invisible amniotic warm folds. Something that can not be simulated, something that emerges naturally from those who metabolize an expressive task that without it, their lives would have no meaning or vertex, those who like them follow the unpredictable course that will mark a path where there is only a next direction, never a trace left...They have bottled such tremendous vibration in Rising Mountains (Bcore, 2009), an expansive exorcism of psychedelic, looking to the height to rise above the everyday mundane life...The umpteenth verification that, alas, everything is just temporary and to capture the moment, no longer to apprehend it, is the only possibility.
Ignacio Julia. Ruta 66.
Tremendous odyssey of psychedelic rock... Capsula resurrects ancestral forms of rock, a way of making music that relates to milestones giants
Go Mag. Spain.
These guys hook!
MondoSonoro. May 09. Spain.
Electric, tense, wild... The guitars have had great success in the left wing, definitely the wisdom to most perverse exploration and voices following the same path.
M-La-Music. France.
Post to highlight there is a side of the band that we LOVE: the heartbreaking one that makes you vibrate in their live shows.
MondoSonoro. Selected Outstanding Album May 09. Spain.
Excellent opus de rock
M-La-Music. France.
'An energetic and adjusted trio for whom the rock has very few secrets and no doubts'
Formed to produce hallucination & enlightment, these live sexy animals on stage, hailing from the streets of South America vía the Basque Country to the world mix their raw noise and sonic sounds in a exciting live act straight to your heart & bones !!! Their name is the spanish word for Capsule and derives from the David Bowie song Space Oddity and The Jean Genie. Influenced by 60's South American psychedelic rock and garage they have released eps, albums, played festivals, toured UK, Europe and South America.
Recorded at Silver Sounds studios in Bilbao in July 2006 and mastered by Greg Calbi (Television, Sonic Youth, Bowie) in New York 'Songs & Circuits' was released January 2007. Some press reviews described them as 'Sonic Garage rock for the 21st Century' with reminiscent of The Velvet Underground and the early Stones. 'Songs & Circuits' was acclaimed as one of the best albums by the rock media, and CAPSULA one of the hottest bands on stage. In October 2008 Capsula signed with BCore Disc while touring in Europe. They released 'Rising Mountains' in April 2009 (11 album in Kexp Radio -Seattle- June 2009). The album 'Rising Mountains' and Capsula show in SXSW 2009 were chosen by David Fricke (Rolling Stone) as one of the big surprises of the festival. The show was also reviewed by Pitchfork as great. In 2009 Capsula also recorded an album with legend Ivan Julian (Richard Hell & The Voidoids) 'The Naked Flame', the album received excellent reviews.

Hello all, this will be our final release of 2009, and a great way to end the year... Pinklogik asked 10 artists and friends to remix her entire "Learning To Trust Higher Frequencies" album and what an eclectic and stunningly produced work this is. Each track has its own feel, thanks to the diverse range of artists involved in the project. A shimmering journey through ambient colours, broken beats, sweet melodies, a little bit of quantum physics, and is one hell of a trip.... Out now for free download!
Also from S27...
[S27-030] MIN-Y-LLAN : Dark Days (Downtempo, Ambient)
We are fast approaching the last days of 2009, so what better way to celebrate than this release from Welshman "Min-Y-Llan" who offers us this collection of atmospheric ambient pieces, the melodies within are dark and cavernous, being the perfect listening for the walk home on a frozen winters evening. Each track has a very melancholic feel as if looking towards a future that isn't as bright as we hope for, but nevertheless are powerless to escape. Free download!
These releases can be listened to and downloaded at: http://section27netlabel.blogspot.com
