‘Por mi puedes seguir llorando, La verdad, esto es aburrido, Ese lament sordo me incordia, Ese payaso nunca volverá, El disfruta de tu dolor’ (El Mundo Sigue) ‘For me, you can continue crying, The truth is, this is boring, That dull lament bothers me, That clown will never return, He enjoys your pain’ (The World Goes On)

Barcelona’s Fuera De Sektor, featuring members of Barrera and Algara, make their vinyl debut on Juegos Prohibidos (Forbidden Games).   Bright, clear guitars, with a touch of wah wah distortion, unfurl waves of surf-infused, angular post-punk and soaring solos that will have those so inclined soon dusting off their air guitars, all underpinned by a crisply punchy rhythm section.  Centre stage though is, perhaps, the clean sung Spanish vocals – strident yet nuanced, melodic yet fierce, they inject a vibrant emotional individuality to each track.

The end result is a languidly shimmering, yet furiously energised dynamic.  From the bristling Lejos De Casa (Far From Home) to the more darkly sombre Ser Una Más (Be One More), and from the swinging Sábanas Viejas (Old Sheets) to the seething Peligroso Animal (Dangerous Animal), the band hone a series of leanly crafted eruptions.  And beneath the luminous, uplifting veneer lie darkly poetical tales of heartbreak and rejection, compulsion and desire.
