White vinyl 7" // Digital Single
(Test Pattern Records, 2019)
After the split of Juniper Moon at the end of 2005, Ivan (drums) and Eva (keyboards), decided to continue with another equally energetic and electric musical project, Linda Guilala, a shoegaze-noise-pop band from Vigo, with the recent addition of Mari on the guitar for live performances.
Since the very beginning, their songs have been playing in numerous national and international radio shows (BBC Radio 6 Music, Disco Grande or Hoy Empieza Todo-Radio3, Toxicosmos-UPV-Scanner FM, Plastico Elastico-Onda Madrid ...) and during the last years the band has been playing at a great amount of national and international venues and festivals (FIB 2017, Indietracks Festival-UK, Wales Goes Pop Festival-UK, Shoegazer Berlin Festival, Primavera Sound, Festival Noroeste...)
They´ve travelled to UK to play a BBC Marc Riley Radio Session in Manchester and to play a few more shows at Rough Trade East (London), The Moon club (Cardiff) and at the Indietracks Festival 2018 (Derbyshire). And more recently they have toured in Europe (Spain, Portugal, France, Germany, The Netherlands...)
After the splendor that was “Psiconáutica” (Elefant Records, 2016) and how positive it was received, both by the media and the general public, the band have published several singles nacionally and internacionally: “Primavera Negra” (Elefant Records, 2018 - SP), "Mucho mejor" (Elefant Records, 2018 - SP), "Estado natural" (Sonic Cathedral, 2019 - UK), "Agosto" (Dreams Never End Records, 2019 - DE) and finally "Será más fácil" (Test Pattern Records, 2019 - USA).
Their albums have been well reviewed by the media, specialized music websites, press and webzines all around the world:
<...a genuinely wonderful album, rich ethereal pop, laced with a desire to experiment, the perfect collision of catchy melody and sheets of unrestrained hallucinogenic noise... Linda Guilala is the find of the year to date...>

*ESPAÑOL
Cuando Juniper Moon se separan en 2005, Iván (batería) y Eva (teclados) deciden continuar con otro proyecto musical igualmente energético y eléctrico; así nace Linda Guilala, una banda de shoegaze-noise-pop afincada en Vigo, con la reciente incorporación de Mari a la guitarra.
Desde sus comienzos sus canciones han sonado en numerosos programas de radio tanto nacionales como internacionales (BBC Radio 6 Music, Disco Grande o Hoy Empieza Todo-Radio3, Toxicosmos-UPV-Scanner FM, Plástico Elástico-Onda Madrid...) y durante estos años han tocado en infinidad de salas y festivales tanto dentro como fuera de nuestras fronteras (FIB 2017, Indietracks Festival-UK, Festival Wales Goes Pop-UK, Shoegazer Berlin Festival, Primavera Sound, Festival Noroeste...)Han viajado a Reino Unido para hacer una sesión en directo en el programa de radio de Marc Riley en la BBC de Manchester y también algunos conciertos más en Rough Trade East (Londres), The Moon club (Cardiff) y en el Indietracks Festival (Derbyshire). Y recientemente han hecho un tour por Europa (España, Portugal, Francia, Alemania, Holanda...)
Después del esplendor que fue “Psiconáutica” (Elefant Records, 2016) y la buena acogida, por parte de los medios y el público en general, la banda ha publicado varios singles nacional e internacionalmente: “Primavera Negra” (Elefant Records, 2018 - SP), "Mucho mejor" (Elefant Records, 2018 - SP), "Estado natural" (Sonic Cathedral, 2019 - UK), "Agosto" (Dreams Never End Records, 2019 - DE) y finalmente "Será más fácil" (Test Pattern Records, 2019 - USA).
Sus trabajos han sido muy bien recibidos en diversos medios, portales especializados, prensa y webzines de todo el mundo:
<...un álbum genuinamente maravilloso, rico pop etéreo, atado con un deseo de experimentar, el encuentro perfecto de melodía pegadiza y capas de ruido alucinógeno desenfrenado... es el hallazgo del año...>
Louder Than War [UK]
<... El grupo abraza la experimentación más que nunca, la construcción de paredes densas, mutantes de sonido a través de una plétora de efectos de guitarra y tonos de sintetizador... Desgarrante y a veces abrumador, “Psiconáutica” es un gran álbum...>
All Music [USA]
<...dibujan paisajes sonoros de una oscuridad deslumbrante, Eva e Iván, firman un disco pleno y con una brillantez absoluta...>
Mondo Sonoro [Es]
<...“Psiconáutica”, además de un magnífico puñado de composiciones, es una demostración de que la psicodelia no requiere de grandes extensiones de minutaje para ser efectiva...>
Efe Eme [Es]
<...“Psiconáutica” (Elefant). Un discazo... Brutalmente sincero, maravillosamente intenso y emocionalmente demoledor...>
