Lunamotos: ¡Whooow!
(Motion Weekend / Sunnyboy 66 / Wild Cave)
LP | DL
Out third November 2025
Spanish pure storage rock revivalists Lunamotos return with ¡Whooow!, an album that may satiate all those that march to the fuzz.
I mentioned it seven years in the past, however I’ll by no means cease hammering residence that Spain is one in every of the greatest meccas to flock to for unbelievable storage rock n roll. Douse your self in a litre of calimocho and rip up the ground of one of many too-many-to-count high underground golf equipment to the sounds of storming storage rock popping out of each nook of the nation and you’re finished for, don’t look again.
Into that fray have stepped the great Lunamotos. After a self-titled album on the now sadly defunct Household Spree Recordings introduced their scuzzed-up and fuzzed-out blasts to the nation, they’re again with ¡Whooow! When the wheel runs this quick, a spinning riot of pure 60’s storage rock, why the hell attempt to reinvent it when Sky Saxon will likely be grooving in his grave? Lunamotos are pure, to their very core. That is The Seeds, Depend 5, fed by means of the Spanish scene that propelled the likes of Wau Y Los Arrrghs and Physician Explosion to the fore.
Proper from the off, on opener Atlanta, they layer that deep germanium fuzz sound with stabbing organs, drums that scuttle, flit and drive, whereas the scorched-throat vocals beckon us in. It’s a swirling battering den of malcontents taking the wheel to hurry us again by means of the a long time, again from the grave another time. The unbelievable Attractive Salvaje is an early spotlight, particularly with its little nod to The Who’s Boris The Spider, a riotous monitor. Hitting extra of a groove, we get songs like Mariluz and the cracking Mujer Lagarto, the latter exhibiting that they will additionally mix of their love of psychedelia, bringing a dizzying swirl to the combo.
A complete adoration to the sounds of yesteryear, by no means fearing to remain inside their chosen lane and easily push the pedal to the ground, Lunamotos are a storage band for pure garageheads. Anybody nearing their orbit will little question be taken in by their infectious racket.
¡Whooow! is offered in from Sunnyboy 66, Motion Weekend, and Wild Cave Information
