Depresión Sonora

Marcos Crespo was born in Vallecas in 1997. The biographical note is not a whim: the themes of his songs explore the concerns of a twenty-something from the suburbs as he goes through the emotional turbulence of the stage of life he is facing. Musically, he draws on the post-punk originated in previous decades, but his discourse is an X-ray of a present that is his own and that of a whole generation fatigued, anxious and pushed towards hyper-productivism with no alternative. His lyrics have an archival value, a testimony of his own time.

If you haven't grown up in this context of digital domination and economic recessions, it might be a little harder for you to understand them, even though you might enjoy them just the same. This probably explains the early success of Depresión Sonora in Mexico and the sold outs of their first concerts in Madrid. The origins of the project date back to 2020, a fateful year in which Marcos, locked in his room, did everything while nothing happened outside. The situation determined the markedly introspective character of the five tracks that make up his eponymous EP. That debut, first released on its own and recovered in physical format by Sonido Muchacho months later, revealed the virtues that he would later confirm in successive releases. The punch and melodic success of songs like ‘Ya no hay verano’ showed that we were in front of a diamond in the rough.
