"En El Garaje" is a remarkable LP by the influential Spanish post-punk band Decima Victima, released through Munster / Cargo. This album captures the raw energy and atmospheric soundscapes that defined Spain?s underground music scene in the early 1980s. With haunting vocals, driving basslines, and evocative guitar work, "En El Garaje" stands as both a testament to Decima Victima's enduring legacy and an essential listen for fans of darkwave and post-punk genres. The record includes rare tracks recorded during their formative years, offering listeners an authentic glimpse into the band's creative process.
Decima Victima was formed in Madrid in 1981 by brothers Lars and Per Mertanen alongside Carlos Entrena (vocals) and José Brena (drums). Despite their brief existence?disbanding in 1984?the group left a lasting mark on Spain?s alternative music landscape with critically acclaimed releases such as "Un Hombre Solo," "Tan Lejos," and their self-titled debut album. Their emotionally charged lyrics combined with minimalist instrumentation have earned them cult status among aficionados of European post-punk.
