Tachenko

This indie pop quintet from Zaragoza released their debut album Nieves y rescates last Spring, and by the end of the year it was ranked among the very best Spanish releases of 2004 by most critics. The band, which features two former members of mid-90s indie favorites El NiƱo Gusano, has recently published an EP featuring some new songs along with one of the highlights of that album, a luminous song with a delicious melody, pleasant vocal harmonies and a beautiful xylophone line, called 'Amable.'
