Such an amazing band! Listening to this double-EP feels like discovering your new favorite band at a time in your life when you need them the most (and may not even know it). Like the 1st time you heard Chronic Town, or Loveless: you're gonna be listening to this band in 25 years & still hearing something new in every note.
Favorite track: El incendio.
Fin del Mundo was formed in 2019 in Buenos Aires, with roots in Tierra del Fuego and Chubut in Southern Patagonia. Their music invites you to travel to both spaces through melodies, lyrics and instrumental passages that combine an indie sound with emotional post-rock and
shoegaze influences.
The band integrated by Julieta Limia (drums), Julieta Heredia (guitar), Yanina Silva (bass) and Lucía Masnatta (guitar, vocals) has self-released two EPs to date. While their first self-titled EP (2020), seemed like a perfect soundtrack for those “extrange days” of the pandemic, on their second EP ‘La ciudad que dejamos’ (2022) they looked for other musical directions to show ust hat the end of the world was not the culmination of something, but the beginning of a new stage. And this is how their first tour in Chile came as well as the live session for the legendary American radio station KEXP (1M+ views) and their first European tour in Autumn 2023
In June 2023, they announced that they have signed up to Spanish indie label Spinda Records (Moura, Loma Baja, Moundrag, Bismut, Travo, Maragda...) to put out on 3rd November ‘Todo
va hacia el mar’, an album containing their previous two EPs for the very first time on physical formats.
The band is currently working on the new songs that will be part of their first full-length debut album, as well as on the first ever European tour in Autumn 2023 together with booking agency Brain Productions.

This music gives me a feeling of hopeful melancholy. Melancholy, because everything alive and beautiful in this world decays and dies; hopeful, because the end of this world will be the beginning of a better one.
