To start from the begining we would have to say that in 10 extense years of career the chilean musicians have released 4 records, have moved their residence to Barcelona, have survived to several line up changes (which caused chaging moniker from “Familia” to “Familea”), have played more than 300 shows including several tours and new friends in Chile, Argentina and Europe, and most important, they have been sharpening a sound that, born from the chilean underground, has always feed from the most risky music, getting an statement that, although you can describe it with labels and styles, is without a doubt, an statement of their own. The power trio is presenting their forthcoming album entitled “Dramones”. Self produced and made with guts and heart at their studio La Pausa de la Mirada.
"Dramones" is a new step in the evolution of this exciting band. The Mirandas keep doing what made them a unique entity while moving towards new directions, writing songs that show strong inner dynamics. Always in motion. Sometimes building tension up; other times liberating it in a manner that resembles bands like Hoover or Lïsabö. Bass and drums sound just like one big powerful instrument, providing an excellent musical landscape for musical exploration. The first song of the album ("Komm Raus") sets the tone of the record: a seemingly random drum pattern slowly reveals the rhythm. The rest of the instruments gather around it, creating an exciting and infectiously musical moment. Other passages ("Dodec Sosec") reveal an angry, moody side that makes you think of Black Flag circa "My War" and early Shellac, while the use of jazzy/math rock atmospheres brings bands like Shipping News or Trans Am to our mind. From a strictly technical point of view, Familea Miranda show a high control of the recording process. One can feel that this record was produced by a band that has recorded many times; "Dramones" has a very rich production, sounding powerful and full of details at once. The use of an open range of instruments like trumpets, melodicas, whistles, cellos, hand clapping, etc.. demonstrates that this band has a lot of imagination in the studio. They add all these elements without compromising their distinctive, fiery post-punk personality. Along with bands like Za, Betunizer, Picore or The Joe K-Plan, Familea Miranda exemplify the great, exciting moment of the Spanish post-hardcore scene.
