A new musical project entirely dedicated to the most maximalist rock. The album, composed and recorded in three days, takes shape at La Sauna recording studios in the Varese area. Xabier, Francesco, and Pierpaolo invite Eugene S. Robinson, the iconic voice of Oxbow, to join the new adventure. Eugene records at Monte Vallier studios in San Francisco, USA. Giulio Ragno Favero takes care of the mixing and mastering of the nine songs on the album. Thus, a new band is born: Buñuel, named after the great naturalized Mexican director.
Nine tracks, thirty minutes of sonic fury, Buñuel's debut album immerses us in a purgatorial atmosphere, a true artistic signature of Eugene S. Robinson: a sort of waking nightmare where voice and words intersect in extremely violent sonic constructs, infused with the "electric" charge characteristic of Xabier Iriondo's guitar style, with Franz Valente and Pierpaolo Capovilla handling a tightly knit rhythmic section, occasionally slow and infernal, lightning-fast and hard-core for the majority of the album.
Buñuel's debut album is an uncompromising artistic effort, extremist in its intentions and extreme in its realization.
