In the sun-baked hills of southern Spain, a secret stirs. Hailing from Cadiz, Spain, we’ve been keeping an ear open for everything these three produce ever since we first got wind of their first single El Camino Silencioso. The name alone, Mientras Las Abejas Duermen, has a magical dream like quality. And as you listen, you hear that this trio of wandering alchemists of sound, have crafted a treasure. Their debut album, whispered and howled in Spanish, carried on riffs that feel older than the land itself, whispers of a path your heart has always known. Each song a step along this once hidden path, moving from meditative valley of slow hypnotic grooves, into towering peaks of doom-lade intensity. El Camino Silencioso was but the first map, as the full album now reveals the landscape in its entirety, unfolding through improvisation and collective instinct, riding forward on riffs that feel like hoof falls or watching them crash over forgotten ruins like a storm meant to steer the wayward spirit into the right direction. As if the music knows the way better than any guide ever could. Psychedelic textures shimmer like mirages, progressive turns surprise like sudden clearings in a forest, and the subtle Andalusian air present on all compositions, but even more on the two Cruz interludes and ending Cruz de la Viñuela track, warms every bit of the traveler’s soul. The album feels like mystery turned sound and like a hidden treasure for everyone who dares to follow its path. And as some of you might know, following that path will lead you to your own personal and unique destiny. So fear nothing, even when the music storms and swells, the path of sound is truly alive and it will know the way…
