Amanecer búho

When Los Buenos Muchachos turned to creating Amanecer búho in 2003, they already had a path behind them in the Montevideo, Uruguay scene. They came from exploring sounds influenced by bands like Pixies and Sonic Youth, and this album feels like a point where they consolidated that search. It wasn't about following formulas, but about finding their own voice that resonated with the raw energy they had been building since 1991, when they started meeting in Malvín. The recording process for this album, although not explicitly detailed, seems to have been a continuation of that way of working that led them to release their first material independently and handcrafted in 1996.

About the album

Amanecer búho, according to DoReSol

This work, Amanecer búho, unfolds over fifteen songs, offering a sonic panorama that invites immersion in its textures. Tracks like He Never Wants to See You (Once Again) or Partes del Campo (Parte 2) suggest a lyrical and musical exploration that goes beyond the conventional. The inclusion of Jaja jeje (canción de cuna para Kurt Cobain), for example, not only marks a direct reference to an influential figure in the music of that era, but also opens the door to understanding the layers of meaning and connections the band wove into their work.

The album is completed with pieces like Under de Tilo's Tree and Coral #5, which contribute to the overall atmosphere of the record. The way Los Buenos Muchachos structured this album, with a tracklist that invites reflection and discovery, shows a band that was in full creative maturity, ready to offer a sound that felt both familiar and distinctive.
