Los Planetas - Unidad De Desplazamiento [2LP]

A cornerstone of Spanish indie rock, Unidad de Desplazamiento by Los Planetas is a sprawling, spacey meditation on emotional movement and existential drift. Originally released in 2000, this double LP captures the band at a peak moment of experimentation, now reissued in a format that lets the music fully breathe. With tracks like “Un Buen Día” and “Santos Que Yo Te Pinté,” the album blends shoegaze textures, dream-pop melancholy, and post-rock ambition. Jota’s unmistakable vocals drift through layers of distortion and delay, weaving stories of heartache, hazy mornings, and spiritual hangovers. It’s a deeply immersive experience, like gazing at city lights through tears and rain. Spread across two records, this pressing brings out the lush, swirling depth of the production. Unidad de Desplazamiento remains a landmark release that helped define a generation of Spanish alt-rock. Moody, melodic, and massively influential—this one’s essential.
