Amáutica against the wind

Genre: dark rock. The classification that Amáutica itself defined for its sound could not be more accurate. El Gurú (vocals/guitar) and Romina Dusk (drums), the duo, or rather, the Argentine couple responsible for Amáutica, brings together both the vigor of rock that we no longer see today, and the obscurity of a sophisticated production.”We decided to form a band because of our common disagreement with the music that was being played on the radio at that time, and even now“, explains the duo.

There is no underground scene here. They are all tribute bands, nothing new.

With a touch of Pixies, “Acaso El Viento”, Amáutica’s newest and powerful single is a kind of anthem for all the lonely spirits who ever walked the earth. “Lyrics talks about the loneliness of the spiritual seeker, faced with the impossibility of fully understanding his experiences“, says the band. It’s the first song from the upcoming album “Sin Altares”, set to be release in September.
