The story behind
"Going shopping" sounds like a walk that leads nowhere, but it ends up being a portrait of its time. The song progresses with a rhythm that seems to drag between the everyday and the urgent, as if each step were a decision between moving forward or staying put. The drums set an irregular pulse that doesn’t aim to hit hard, but rather to accompany the weariness of someone walking aimlessly. The bass, on the other hand, coils into short, repetitive lines, like the sound of an old refrigerator that won’t stop humming. It’s this contrast between the mechanical and the human that gives it weight: there’s no drama, but neither is there resignation.
They recorded it at a time when the band was still searching for its definitive voice. The album La era de la boludez came out in September 1993, and this track, at 4:38, became one of those moments where simplicity sounds like truth. Behind the controls were Aníbal Kerpel and Gustavo Santaolalla, who gave it a raw but unfiltered air. The mix was handled by Danny Alonso and Tony Peluso, who let the bass and drums breathe without rushing. There are no ornaments, just the song as it sounds in the living room of someone who doesn’t feel like going anywhere.
