Fin del Mundo was formed in 2019 in Buenos Aires (Argentina), with roots in
Tierra del Fuego and Chubut in Southern Patagonia. Their exquisite mix of
emotional post-rock, shoegaze, dream pop and indie rock has allowed them to
position themselves as one of the most interesting bands on the Latin
American independent music scene in a very short time. Their live session for
the legendary US radio station KEXP reached 1 million views in just under 9
months. The band formed by Tita (drums), Juli (guitar), Yan (bass) and Lu
(guitar, vocals) also toured Europe.

Vienen de conquistar Espa a, sin tapujos ni medias tintas, confirm ndose como
una de las apuestas mejor tiradas de los ltimos meses por el sector promotor
de nuestro pa s. La publicaci n de su debut formal en larga duraci n
(compuesto por la suma de sus dos EPs previos, que conforman ahora "Todo Va
Hacia El Mar") les ha permitido cruzar el charco y clavar su albiceleste
bandera en diferentes puntos de nuestra geograf a, demostr ndonos su talento
y la fruct fera salud ya manifiesta de la siempre f rtil escena argentina.
Las chicas de Fin del Mundo consagran as un inicio de carrera estelar,
plagado de buenos presagios y momentos inolvidables, gracias a ocho
estupendas canciones que plasman y cierran esta primera etapa del cuarteto,
arrancada en un ya lejano 2019.
Tomando su nombre del lugar de origen de una de sus componentes (Ushuaia,
considerado el extremo austral de Sudam rica y apodado como el "Fin del
Mundo"), Julieta Heredia, Luc a Masnatta, Julieta Limia y Yanina Silva han
logrado hacerse fuertes en tiempo r cord dentro de esa suma de sonidos que
nos lleva desde el shoegaze al post-rock, pasando por un dream-pop
comedidamente agresivo y un post-punk mel dico y enso ador que avanza sin
prisa. Nos mecen pacientemente y con temple entre riffs contemplativos que
huyen de la premura (a los dos minutos y medio de solo en "Las Flores" o a la
breve pincelada de letra en canciones como "El fin del mundo" nos remitimos),
para poco a poco hacernos part cipes de su narrativa, vaporosa y suave,
plagada de met foras que aluden tanto a su entorno m s cercano como a la
inmensidad m s colectiva ("Las luces se olvidaron de quien un d a fui /
Espero que pronto vuelvan hacia m ", cantan entre aguaceros de seis cuerdas
con sabor a noise).
La voz de la ensayista bonaerense Alejandra Pizarnik se oscurece entre
matices de belleza y decadencia gracias a la adaptaci n de uno de los poemas
de su repertorio para "La Noche", el primer corte del LP y la sentencia de un
tono melanc lico y l brego que se mantendr sostenido a lo largo del resto
del trabajo de las argentinas. Un sentir g lido, remarcado entre briznas de
fr o y gui os al sur de su pa s que, de un modo u otro, condicionan y
precisan su particular invitaci n a que conectemos con su m sica y nos
sintamos parte de esa unidad a cuatro que les ha empujado a vivir el viaje de
sus vidas ("La ciudad que dejamos extra a nuestras manos y pide que nos
volvamos a ver", cantan en "El Pr ximo Verano", dando paso a un tramo a coro
que supone uno de los momentos m s bellos y comunales del lbum).
Aunque no ser hasta los versos de "El Incendio", el octavo y ltimo corte
del disco, que las componentes de Fin del Mundo revelen (tras unos pegadizos
acordes) el sentido m s literal del t tulo de su trabajo ("Me dejo llevar, si
todo va hacia el mar") y el esperado mensaje que stas buscan reflejar con el
mismo (apelando a un relajado sentir que desean contagiarnos, nuevamente de
la mano de ese contraste entre dulzura tonal y contundencia instrumental que
nos traslada del todo embriagados a la vera del mar). Es, adem s, esa orilla
la que nos recibe y nos despide respectivamente (de la mano de su portada,
obra de scar M laga) la que envuelve un trabajo que re ne con oportuna
precisi n el diverso bagaje de sus ejecutoras y los impl citos deseos de las
mismas por conformar una propuesta con pretensiones de banda instrumental sin
renunciar a otras f rmulas tan efectivas como congruentes (del radiante pop
de "La Distancia" a la euforia contenida del "Desvelo"). A d nde pueda
terminar llev ndoles esta marea solo lo saben ellas, pero el vaiv n de las
olas no podr a haber arrancado mejor.

They have come from conquering Spain, without any concealment or
half-measures, confirming themselves as one of the best bets of the last
months by the promoter sector of our country. The release of their formal
debut full-length (composed by the sum of their two previous EPs, which now
make up "Todo Va Hacia El Mar") has allowed them to cross the pond and nail
their albiceleste flag in different points of our geography, demonstrating
their talent and the fruitful health already manifested in the always fertile
Argentine scene. The girls of Fin del Mundo thus consecrate a stellar start
to their career, full of good omens and unforgettable moments, thanks to
eight great songs that capture and close this first stage of the quartet,
started in an already distant 2019.
Taking their name from the place of origin of one of their members (Ushuaia,
considered the southernmost tip of South America and nicknamed the "End of
the World"), Julieta Heredia, Luc a Masnatta, Julieta Limia and Yanina Silva
have managed to become strong in record time within that sum of sounds that
takes us from shoegaze to post-rock, passing through a restrainedly
aggressive dream-pop and a melodic and dreamy post-punk that moves forward
without haste. They patiently and temperately rock us between contemplative
riffs that flee from haste (we refer to the two and a half minutes of solo in
"Las Flores" or the brief brushstroke of lyrics in songs like "El fin del
mundo"), to gradually make us participants of their narrative, vaporous and
soft, full of metaphors that allude both to their closest environment and to
the most collective immensity ("Las luces se olvidaron de quien un d a fui /
Espero que pronto vuelvan hacia m ", they sing between downpours of six
strings with a noise flavor).
The voice of Buenos Aires essayist Alejandra Pizarnik darkens between shades
of beauty and decadence thanks to the adaptation of one of the poems of her
repertoire for "La Noche", the first cut of the LP and the sentence of a
melancholic and gloomy tone that will be sustained throughout the rest of the
Argentinean band's work. An icy feeling, highlighted by shivers of cold and
winks to the south of their country that, in one way or another, condition
and specify their particular invitation to connect with their music and feel
part of that unity of four that has pushed them to live the journey of their
lives ("La ciudad que dejamos extra a nuestras manos y pide que nos volvamos
a ver", they sing in "El Pr ximo Verano", giving way to a chorus section that
is one of the most beautiful and communal moments of the album).
Although it will not be until the verses of "El Incendio", the eighth and
last cut of the album, that the members of Fin del Mundo reveal (after some
catchy chords) the most literal sense of the title of their work ("Me dejo
llevar, si todo va hacia el mar") and the expected message that they seek to
reflect with it (appealing to a relaxed feeling that they want to infect us,
again from the hand of that contrast between tonal sweetness and instrumental
forcefulness that transports us completely intoxicated to the shore of the
sea). It is, in addition, that shore that welcomes and dismisses us
respectively (of the hand of its cover, work of scar M laga) the one that
wraps a work that reunites with opportune precision the diverse baggage of
its executors and the implicit desires of the same ones to conform a proposal
with pretensions of instrumental band without resigning to other formulas as
effective as congruent (from the radiant pop of "La Distancia" to the
contained euphoria of "Desvelo"). Where this tide may end up taking them only
they know, but the swaying of the waves could not have started better.

Shoegaze
is a genre of alternative rock that
originated in the late 80s. The genre is very
difficult to define, and it is even more difficult to evaluate music
within it. Generally, the genre is characterized by its
shimmering vocals, reverberating guitars, and
textural distortion that create
a tranquil, opaque
feeling.
