Los Dedos are an instrumental surf rock band from Bristol, featuring Willy Malo (guitar, trumpet), Picu Moreno (bass, Spanish guitar) and Sam Bigland (drums, percussion), on their new EP El Salado assisted by Clod Jovino (keyboards). In its six cinematic tunes they bring other worlds to the British coast: the title track bears influences of a spaghetti western, Hot Rod Bob is the soundtrack of a vintage car race, in Domingo Negro the tempo is slowed down to suit a more serious subject, and so on. The reverb-drenched guitars and rolling drum beats make it always work.
El Salado, recorded & mixed by Ben Capp, is out now digitally, on CD and 10″ vinyl, through Otitis Media Records.
