Hoy a las Ocho sits comfortably at the intersection of dream pop, synth-pop, and indie rock, with ambient and baroque pop touches.
Even for non-Spanish speakers, the album speaks fluently in the universal languages of mood, tone, and feeling.
From the very first notes, it’s clear that the band pays close attention to musical structure and dynamics. Each track is layered with shimmering synths, textural guitar work, and precise percussion, which often oscillates between soft, electronic pulses and organic, live drumming. Lo Blondo’s voice is arguably the album’s centerpiece. Her vocals are emotive, elastic, and often angelic—she doesn’t just sing, she inhabits each note. Whether she’s delivering a breathy falsetto or a stronger, more assertive vocal line, her tone feels both otherworldly and deeply human.
I invite you to give this album a listen and maybe explore more of their music. Other of the albums like Bestia take a completely different approach to this multilayer music
