Los Canotipos are a Spanish pub rock outfit featuring Javi Botanz, Óscar “revientabaquetas” Cano, Raúl Delgado, Juan Díaz-Faes and Juan Díaz-Terán, five friends who occasionally met in Óscar’s supermarket to eat and drink together, while playing some music. The latter became increasingly important, without taking themselves seriously for a moment. On their sophomore long-player Las Rockambolescas Aventuras Del Tío Momia they show that fun comes first. With absurd lyrics and apt nods to well-known hits and riffs—most notable in Talking Heads pastiche Psycho Cleaner—laughter is guaranteed, but the band is actually more than that. These twelve songs full of distinctive vocals, hip-swaying guitars and danceable rhythms will get any party going.
Las Rockambolescas Aventuras Del Tío Momia is out digitally and on vinyl LP through Folc Records.
