Melenas

Melenas is a Pamplona based band that plays their indie rock with an upbeat jangly pop feel and some classic girl band vocal harmonies, but then throws up a shoegaze type wall of fuzz every now and then to make things more interesting. Their music sometimes shows shades of dream pop effects as well, especially when they downshift to a calmer pace. There is good variety in their music in terms of the way they play around with their overall feel, which takes place underneath a rugged garage surface that they otherwise do not deviate much from. Vocalist Oihana Herrera sings in Spanish only. Their songs are melodically strong, effective in mid tempo ballads, somber when they slow it down and catchy with an additional bounce when they kick to a higher gear.
