The story behind
In Jessico, the sixth album by Babasónicos, the track La Fox stands out as a brief but intense flash: just two minutes and twenty-two seconds that encapsulate a sound where distortion and groove intertwine without warning. It may not be the longest cut on the album, but its raw energy makes it stand out among the rest. Recorded at a pivotal moment for the band, this track captures the urgency of an era when Argentine rock was seeking to reinvent itself after the December 2001 crisis. The mix of sharp guitars and an unrelenting rhythm makes it a turning point within the album, almost as if it were a breath before returning to the intensity of the surrounding songs.
The album Jessico not only solidified Babasónicos as one of Argentina's most relevant bands at the time, but also opened doors to national and international recognition. La Fox was part of that moment: although it wasn't the most awarded track on the album, its inclusion in lists like Rolling Stone's "100 Best Argentine Rock Albums" —where Jessico ranked 16th— and its selection as "Album of the Year" by readers and journalists from various publications, including Inrokuptibles and the supplement Sí! from Clarín, gave it extra weight. Even abroad, Elástica magazine from Los Angeles named it "Best Latin Rock Album," and in a survey among musicians organized by Página 12, Jessico took the title of "Best of 2001." It wasn't just an album: it was the reflection of a sonic search that, in less than three minutes, managed to convey something bigger than a song.
