americanos (gold)

• Strictly limited pressing of 200 hand-numbered copies (100 black, 50 gold vinyl, 50 red vinyl)

First official vinyl reissue, including two bonus tracks, redesigned back-cover and hand-numbered to 200 copies (100 in black, 50 in gold and 50 in red vinyl). The highly collectable debut album by Contraluz, originally released in 1973 on EMI, is the most exemplary hard-psych masterpiece to ever emerge from the prolific Argentinean scene, interspersed with proggy corridors that are scented with folky elements. This is a pure ear-pampering experience for those who crave in-your-face hard sonic assaults and ferocious rhythm-sections, topped up with majestic flutework and glimpses of prog serenity around the edges. The legendary Americanos is packed with sticky tunes, from the homonymous opening track, a straight psych-folk anthem of comparable gravitas to Jaivas’ ‘Todos Juntos’, to the acid-drenched ‘Clave De Sol’ and ‘La Sarna Del Viento’, and the ethereally proggy ‘El Charco’.
