Il Abanico hail from Colombia but call Boston home these days racking a number of shows on the East Coast.
Guitarist Nicolás Losada and singer Juliana Landero have taken a modern shoegaze approach and soaked it in influences from other Massachusetts bands such as Dinosaur Jnr and the Pixies.
What is exciting about Il Abanico is they have a tendency to “fuck up” their classic pop melodies throwing in unexpected chord patterns and unusual melodies into the mix. With a slight nod to the eclecticism of their South American roots the results are wonderfully jangly guitar lines laid down for Juliana‘s vocals to soar.
Catch Il Abanico on tour throughout September.
