Habak "Mil Orquídeas En Medio Del Desierto"
The searing passion Habak plays with is both matched by and sourced from their desire to imagine a different future, unmarred by the struggle of surviving life under capitalism. The Tijuana, MX band’s crust melódico is stronger and more intricately written than it’s ever been on their third LP and sixth official release, "Mil Orquídeas En Medio Del Desierto" (A Thousand Orchids in the Middle of the Desert). Following their 2015 debut "Insania" and 2020’s "Ningún Muro Consiguió Jamás Contener La Primavera", Habak’s "Mil Orquídeas En Medio Del Desierto" expounds on a sound whose influence feels equal parts influenced by d-beat creators Discharge and atmospheric post-hardcore legends Envy. Such a sound could only be born of the worldwide underground, of the global anti-capitalist movement that DIY has become. It is fitting then, that their latest album be a work created entirely by the band themselves, with production, mixing, and mastering by Habak drummer Patrick Alexander at Cacho Stu
