Answering a call from the cosmos, Minimal launches its second studio production. Continuing the group’s traditional use of rock and pop melodies with electronic flirtations, the band’s sound continues to evolve toward more dynamic structures, harmonies and chord progressions. Hermoso Caos, the follow-up to the band’s 2006 production "Fotos Cartas y un Puñal," embodies the versatile and energetic sound that the band has developed in recent years.

While the sound of Fotos, Cartas y un Puñal was carefully crafted around melancholic transitions and experimental backdrops, Minimal made radical changes in the recording process as well as to its sound in Hermoso Caos. “We wanted to portray a sound that was more representative of our live performance,” explains the band’s singer and guitarist Gabriel Ayala. “I am sure that the new sound will surprise many. We did things that we had never tried before, from building an entire song in the studio to recording sequences and patterns in real time. We had the freedom to propose and perform our own vision. That feeling spread through the studio sessions, and a great deal of energy flowed.” This resulted in a penetrating sound where the drum loops guide the drums and bass and where the guitars are able to freely float away from the mechanics imposed by the machines.

Hermoso Caos showcases Minimal’s musical evolution. Conceptually, the band’s lyrics and melodic intensions remain loyal to traditional artistic trends. Influences, ranging from Café Tacuba, Radiohead and the Flaming Lips, are recognizable in Hermoso Caos and in Minimal’s previous projects. The band, wisely integrates these trends with their own vision and experience in a vibrant and original music collision where order and chaos comfortably co-habit with one and other.
