GALA

Matando Sueños Sonrisas Fabricadas Como Los Otros Ejército Del Odio Gala Esfumados Sueños El Me Mira Y Se Va Silencio Entre Nosotros Mejor Callarlo Cult Argentinian darkwave act Euroshima™s Gala sees a vinyl reissue courtesy of Dark Entries. Euroshima was formed in 1986 by Fabián Iribarne, José Wyszogrod, Ricardo Parrabere, and vocalist Wanda. Originally released in 1987 on Polygram, Gala was a success throughout South America. But to the band™s dismay, they received minimal support from the record label, which meant the album would linger in obscurity outside of the region. A CD issue via Twilight Records surfaced in 2020, but this is the album™s first reissue on vinyl. Gala™s legendary status among cognoscenti is warranted. The album™s nine tracks display all the hallmarks of the best darkwave: spiky guitars, analog synth basslines, and wailing vocals. But Euroshima make their mark on the genre with impeccable songcraft and a honed sense of the uncanny. While the band themselves rejected the label of šgothic›, it™s hard to resist busting out the black eyeliner when listening to gems like the uptempo šComo Los Otro› or the churning album-closer šMejor Callarlo›. Highly recommended for fans of Xmal Deutschland, Lebanon Hanover, pummeling TR-707™s, and doom-laden synths. This reissue is co-presented with Twilight Records, responsible for the 2020 CD reissue of Gala. It has been remastered by George Horn at Fantasy Studios. Also included is a double sided insert with lyrics and photos, as well as a postcard featuring a photo of the band.
