notes
Let’s start by saying that Los Peyotes are well-seasoned veterans at what they do. They have been performing for over a decade, which has taken them from performing at the most obscure venues in the Buenos Aires underground scene, to the biggest European garage festivals. So much so, that the band is currently the must-see act in the international 60s garage-punk scene. One could say the boys are purists when it comes to their image: Beatle boots, velvet vests, perfectly styled bangs, and primitive bone necklaces. Their sound is also somewhat traditional, but it definitely features its own rendition of the Farfisa organ, the Phantom guitars, Vox tube amps, and fuzz pedals. Through their fresh compositions on “Cavernicola,” Los Peyotes truly do an outstanding job at gathering the best elements of each era in the genre. Their influences reveal an important dose of 60s Latin Beat, Los Yorks, Los Mockers, and Los Saicos-style, but also of 60s British punk, The Seeds, The Chocolate Watchband, and 13th Floor Elevators-style. Still, they manage to pay homage to all of their favorite references of the 80s garage revival scene such as Fuzztones, Chesterfield Kings, Miracle Workers, and beyond. Even better, one can pick up on just the right amount of 70s Psych in the mix (Traffic Sound anyone?), which ultimately makes their recordings much more complex, with obscure undertones. Their lyrics are raw and intense, obsessing over constant themes of love, hate, death, and voodoo, where strong emotions and intoxicating rituals become one. Their masterpiece is completed with impeccable cover art, well worth paying retail price for the record just for the cover alone.
