Mixtape #156


Spanish quartet Melenas, comprising Oihana (guitar, vocals), Leire (bass), María (keyboards) & Lauri (drums), have been making waves since forming in 2016 with their energetic and compelling krautpop compositions. Hailing from Pamplona, they’ve been an integral part of the city’s underground music scene. Last year they released their incredible third album, Ahora, crystallizing the musical vibrancy they’re known for whilst taking a more nuanced and complex approach to their sound. We’re excited to have them curate this month’s mixtape, offering a glimpse into their diverse musical influences.
