Remember Comic Sans? No, not the infamous typeface, but the Spanish twinkly and mathy emo revivalists. In case you missed it, Comic Sans released one of the finest albums<\/a> in that genre last year.<\/p>\n

Good news: the band from San Sebastian is back with a new quartet of songs that solidifies their newfound status. Without exception, the tracks on the Ojal\u00e1 fuera mi cumplea\u00f1os<\/em> EP are lively and energetic, featuring brain-tickling guitar licks, communal singing, and addictive melodies. If you loved last year’s \u00c9ramos felices y no lo sab\u00edamos, <\/em>you’ll love this EP, and you’ll love how Comic Sans keeps finding ways to surprise you – e.g., listen to Vale por todo bueno<\/em> (featuring Mourn from Barelona), which is probably the poppiest song the band ever done, or to El coche de Micho<\/em> with its tasteful horn parts.<\/p>\n

The EP is available now on a 12″ vinyl, with the band’s sold out 2023 LP on the A-side and the new EP on the B-side. Smart move by Through Love and We’re Trying to combine these highly recommended and complementary releases.<\/p>\n
