Gazella - Vías (2025) [Hi-Res]

Vías, the second album by the Valencian band Gazella, is a visceral and introspective journey that transitions from their earlier shoegaze roots toward a more refined dream pop sound. Released on May 16, 2025, the 9-track, 37-minute album explores themes of creation and movement, with its title referencing “paths” or “ways” that emerge through natural and meteorological elements. Tracks like “Volver,” “Cielo Gris,” and “Kim y Jimmy” showcase a blend of subtle drum’n’bass rhythms, Radiohead-esque melodies, and My Bloody Valentine-inspired lysergic textures, incorporating synthesizers over traditional guitar riffs. The album is noted for its cohesive yet eclectic sound, balancing ethereal atmospheres with krautrock-inspired rhythms and post-rock influences. Produced by Lluisen Capafons and Adrián Camáñez, recorded at Estudio Maret and Millenia Estudios, and mastered by Pedro Viñuela, Vías reflects Gazella’s commitment to sonic experimentation and emotional depth.
