Biography

With just two demos, “La Mecedora” and “Ultramar”, this Asturian duo formed by Nel González and Helena Toraño deeply impressed us. Their punk-pop sound is so spontaneous, so immediate and urgent. The electricity of MY BLOODY VALENTINE, RIDE and THE JESUS & MARY CHAIN, the primitivism of BEAT HAPPENING, the instant shake-you-up of SHOP ASSISTANTS, THE VASELINES and THE PASTELS, reaching a perfect symphony between noise and melody. Their first EP, "Ultramarinos", was released in 2012 by Elefant Records and produced by Iván Juniper and Eva Guilala (of Linda Guilala). In 2013, hyperactive and self-sufficient, in addition to having prepared and recorded the eight songs on their new record "Martín Pescador" and to their live performances over the past few months, Helena and Nel have also found time to make their own video-clips and release 4 editions of their fanzine “Temporal”. Helena also held her first art exhibition, displaying some of her work and demonstrating her exceptional talent as an artist. Nel and Helena return with "Nordeste" in 2015, which marks a significant step in the duo’s career, opening their sound up. ¡Fanzine! is a Single of cover versions of TV PERSONALITIES, THE VASELINES, BLACK TAMBOURINE and THE PASTELS. In 2019 are back with that same freshness and with those same delicious and immediate melodies releasing "Hinoki", an album that doesn’t hide, more than ever, their passion for AVENTURAS DE KIRLIAN and LE MANS.
