The song rides a mid-tempo groove driven by steady drums, melodic bass, and chiming guitars that lean toward new wave and early 80s pop. Vocals are expressive but not flashy, telling a story of waiting, doubt, and unrequited love that many listeners across Latin America have internalized as their own. The remaster clears up the mix: you can hear the keyboards more clearly, the snare cuts with extra snap, and the subtle backing vocals sit more precisely in the stereo field. Yet it still feels like a memory, not a modern re-recording. “Mil Horas” captures the bittersweet romanticism of rock en español’s formative years, when bands embraced pop accessibility while holding onto a sense of poetic melancholy.\nListen: https://open.spotify.com/search/Los%20Abuelos%20De%20La%20Nada%20Mil%20Horas%201994%20Remastered", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588652, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588652/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-08T21:52:30-08:00", "show": 65326, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65326/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "POV", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "St. Mängata", "artist_ids": [ "964f4a7d-9e92-4fd7-9e3d-7f1e583f6fb0" ], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": null, "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "“POV” is a cinematic blend of post-rock, dream-pop, and ambient indie sensibilities.

Lyrically, the song grapples with perception, memory, and the shifting boundaries between clarity and illusion—echoed in the mix, which alternates between sharp focus and dense haze. The production retains the grit and immediacy of a live band while layering reverb and texture to deepen the emotional impact.

Tráfico Muerto deliver the message through a raw punk framework: fast tempos, sharp-edged guitars, and vocals that punch through the mix with urgency. The track moves like a chant twisted into rebellion, taking familiar sonic elements from stadium culture and turning them into something abrasive and confrontational. Drums hammer out a rapid-fire backbeat that drives the song forward, while the guitars maintain a gritty, unpolished tone that reinforces the thematic intensity.

Built on a sleek mid-tempo groove, the arrangement blends shimmering guitars, bright keyboards, and subtle Latin rhythmic inflections. Santiago Auserón’s vocals deliver the melody with sensual poise, singing about desire as a kind of poison—dangerous, addictive, and irresistible. The chorus is instantly memorable, unfolding in a smooth, melodic arc that remains fresh more than three decades later.

Vocals sit very closely in the mix, almost whisper-like, emphasizing vulnerability and hesitation. The lyrics revolve around persistence—what remains, what lingers, what refuses to fade even when distance or time intervenes. Because public information about Alguien en el auto is minimal, the song’s world-building does most of the storytelling. Its simplicity feels intentional, a deliberate attempt to freeze a fleeting, private moment. “Aun” is the kind of track that works best alone at night, when quiet thoughts rise unexpectedly and every small emotion feels amplified.\nListen: https://open.spotify.com/search/Alguien%20en%20el%20auto%20Aun", "location": 1, "location_name": "Default", "play_type": "trackplay" }, { "id": 3588639, "uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/plays/3588639/?format=api", "airdate": "2025-12-08T21:10:33-08:00", "show": 65326, "show_uri": "https://api.kexp.org/v2/shows/65326/?format=api", "image_uri": "", "thumbnail_uri": "", "song": "Sobrepienso", "track_id": null, "recording_id": null, "artist": "Las Tristes", "artist_ids": [], "album": null, "release_id": null, "release_group_id": null, "labels": [], "label_ids": [], "release_date": null, "rotation_status": null, "is_local": false, "is_request": false, "is_live": false, "comment": "“Sobrepienso” wears its theme on its sleeve: this is music about overthinking, looping back on the same ideas until they blur into noise.

The guitar lines are melodic but repetitive, circling the same few notes with small variations, while the bass follows closely, reinforcing the sense of being stuck in a pattern. Vocals float on top, gently melodic yet tinged with fatigue, expressing a kind of soft, melancholic introspection rather than explosive drama.

Vocals weave in and out rather than dominating, adding narrative hints and emotional spikes while leaving plenty of room for interpretation. The track title suggests a character study, and the music supports that idea: it feels like a psychological portrait rendered in sound, full of unresolved tension and flashes of violence.

The bass line is central: repetitive, minor-key, and slightly off-kilter, it anchors the track while guitars scrape out dissonant chords and noisy flourishes around it. Drums are dry and mechanical, emphasizing a marching rhythm that gives the music a sense of inevitability, as if events are spiraling and no one can stop them. Vocals sound distant and haunted, recounting a story hinted at in the title with a mix of detachment and horror. Production choices—echo, slight distortion on the voice, and a cold overall tone—heighten the cinematic quality, conjuring images of dim hallways, flickering lights, and internal collapse.

Guitars are drenched in fuzz and played with a loose, frantic attack, carving out riffs that feel half-melodic and half-destructive. The rhythm section pushes relentlessly; drums crash forward with almost live-tape chaos, while the bass grinds underneath, keeping the song from flying completely off the rails. Vocals are shouted more than sung, but hooks still emerge—short phrases that lodge in your brain even as they are half-buried in distortion. Lyrically, the track hints at tension, constraint, and the urge to break free, matching the claustrophobic yet liberating feel of the music.
