Capsula is one of those bands that is slightly awe-inspiring when you think about its history. Originating in Buenos Aires, Argentina, nearly 15 years ago, Capsula has lived through a huge array of experiences in its career, which has enhanced its music in a way that is truly unique to them.
One thing Capsula — made up of Martin Guevara (vocals/guitar), Coni Duchess (vocals/bass) and Ignacio Villarejo (drums) — is known for is its ability to not bombard listeners with its message. Living through Argentina’s dictatorship taught Capsula to censor its music in a secretly rebellious way. Touching on topics such as drugs and love, the band’s aggressive and psychedelic music is paired with subtle yet poignant undertones.
“Wild Fascination,” the opener on its latest release, “In the Land of Silver Souls,” begins with an energetic instrumental. Guevara’s vocals are sharp and have an undeniable David-Bowie-like quality to them.
While Capsula’s music has a psychedelic modern-rock twist to it, its single off this 14-song album, “Hit ’N’ Miss,” is a heavier rock track with a classic vibe to it. “Communication” is another notable song, one that the band really exhibits its mellower side on. Guevara’s vocals are so low he almost whispers the lyrics.
His vocals and the band’s ability to create a very eclectic style of rock make “In the Land of Silver Souls” an album that will appeal to a wide range of people. It’s full of grand, sweeping rhythms and powerful guitar riffs that will undoubtedly entice fans into wanting more from Capsula.
