MOURN (Captured Tracks) Friday July 17th at UFO Factory
MOURN is a very young quartet formed from the friendship of Jazz Rodríguez Bueno and Carla Pérez Vasboth born in 1996 in El Maresme, Catalonia, Spain. The duo armed themselves with inspiration from PJ Harvey, Patti Smith, Sebadoh and Sleater-Kinney and began writing material, which they quickly released, raw and acoustic, on their YouTube channel. These recordings caught the attention of their homeland's Sones Records. Despite being teenagers, earlier this year they came out of the studio (along with a couple new recruitsdrummer Antonio Postius and bassist Leia Rodríguez) with a brilliant treatise of indie rock that has stunned those who have had the opportunity to hear it. Jazz (18), Carla (18), Leia (15) and Antonio (18) came together to present these tracks with authenticity and self-awareness beyond their age. With the confidence only residing in youth, the Mourn debut was recorded live in the studio in two days, proof of which is in their live-in-the-studio videos for singles "Otitis" and "Your Brain is Made of Candy." Both tracks perfectly capture the band's affinity for the brevity of The Ramones with the lyrical and melodic sophistication of The Pixies. The immediacy is apparent and the LP contains the "lightning in a bottle" quality that most bands work toward for years. The band's self-written motto states "Four nerds playing music and shit at the doors of hell." Thankfully for us, this moment was documented and we have the self-titled debut to enjoy for years to come.
