We don't know who had the brilliant idea to label as "shoegazer" that musician who used to appear onstage with the head down, like staring at his own shoes instead of the audience. We won't say neither if the term is accurate or not, but anyway we think it's appropiate to refer to The Lions Constellation. And not because they look at their own shoes, but by the fact they've been strongly influenced by those bands. Bands that don't appear to be outgoing, neither explosive onstage. They dive into a state of catharsis when they let the amp feedback fill the atmosphere of the venue, when they let the darkness take over the ambience and build their musical discurse through a wall of sound. The listener lets himself go by the decibels in a kind of slumbering trance. That's what The Lions Constellation have to offer: noisy and black poetry, ellegant and subtile, moncohromatic and atmospheric.

They drink from masters like The Jesus & Mary Chain or My Bloody Valentine, but also from Spacemen3, Ride or 13th Floor Elevators. A mix between sixties hippy psichodelia and nineties indie.Though their special personality comes from punk, soul and garage, as this is the background of half of the band, who are renouned and active members of Barcelona's scene: RJ Sinclair, singer of Tokyo Sex Destruction and bass player of It's Not Not, and Graham, Dj of the well-known Apolo [2] dancehall of Barcelona. They hipnotize us and make us balance from one side to another without noticing.
