From Malaga, We build stairs They debut with a proposal that connects the post-punk groove with that very southern way of understanding psychedelia, dance and irony. Strong It is their first single, and one of the most determined entries so far this year.
The Malaga scene adds a new name to follow closely. We build stairs is a recently created band that takes up the baton of projects like La Trinidad and that bursts forth with a proposal that looks squarely at a certain Andalusian tradition of risk, groove and impudence, more concerned with the pulse than with the pose.
Made up of Paul, Nilsson, Fausto, Iván and Samu, the group is born from the elemental, almost from the gesture. A garage, an idea thrown into the air and the shared need to turn it into movement. Not so much songs as spaces where the rhythm rules and the body responds. There a project begins to take shape that understands music as something physical, repetitive and celebratory.
Their DNA intersects references that range from the most angular post-punk and primitive funk to a very specific way of understanding psychedelia and dance from the south. Names like Gang of Four, Talking Heads or ESG appear on that map, but also closer and recognizable connections such as Pony Bravo, Ciudad Jardín or El Último Sueño. References assumed naturally, without nostalgia or explicit quotation, as part of a way of being in music.
We build stairs They sound tense but danceable, sharp but luminous, with a clear live vocation and a very specific way of understanding repetition, groove and irony. A project that does not seem to look back, but rather dialogues with a scene that already exists and that continues to grow from below, with its own personality and without asking permission.
The group debuts with Caries Recordsthe label run by Carlangas, and thus joins a new batch of bands like the Madrid duo Dear Joanne and the very young Sevillian artist Julia of Arc who are renewing the language of pop and state post-punk from the margins, dance and intuition. Inside Strong!
