Two years after the release of their self-titled debut album and being featured with their stand-alone single “Muiñeira da Maruxaina” on Spinda Records 12x 7″ compilation boxset ‘Grados. Minutos. Segundos.‘ in 2021, Spanish psych-prog rockers MOURA are back with their long-awaited second studio album in which they go even deeper into Galician tradition, both lyrically and instrumentally. ‘Axexan, espreitan‘ is scheduled to be released on May 27, 2022 via Spinda Records. Now they release their second advance single in a World Of Metal exclusive for Portugal:
‘Axexan, espreitan‘ is a map of the intangible heritage of the Galician people in the North West coast of Spain drawn up based on personal experiences, popular traditions, collective rituals as a social element and the presence of the souls of those who are now gone. A peek into the subconscious that gives voice to that heritage which “contemplates and lurks” in silence, blurring the thin line between the world of the living and the world of the dead.
If in March they advanced a first single titled “Baile do dentón“, a song halfway between neo-psychedelia and kraut-rock, the Galicians are now launching “Romance de Andrés d’Orois“. On this occasion, it is a composition much closer to traditional folklore that ends up breaking into a multi-colored explosion of progressive rock and in which tells the story of Andrés, a cattle dealer from the Orois parish who was murdered at beginning of the 20th century by two thieves in the Ribadiso forest when returning from a fair. Through its relevant video, band members pay tribute to Beat-Club, the legendary German television music program of the late 60s and early 70s, which was attended by groups such as Yes, Black Sabbath, Can, T. Rex, King Crimson or Grateful Dead.
