The trio—composed of Flores, guitarist Jorge Calderon and bassist Daniel Vela—has sold out shows across the U.S and recently achieved a major milestone by selling out the London stop on their debut U.K tour in fall 2024. Their unique, bilingual sound combines minor key melodies, heavy synths and introspective lyrics, often featuring a touch of Spanish. blood club's music evokes a hauntingly dreamy atmosphere, setting them apart in the modern post-punk scene. Whether drenched in reverb or pounding through minimalist rhythms, the band invites listeners to step into their dark, sonic universe—and stay awhile. **Obskuros** Defying the barriers between darkness and light, Obskuros emerges with a sonic tapestry that navigates the balance between these opposing elements. Originating from the rich culture of Northeast Los Angeles, the band comprises long-time friends Erick Lobo, Yanely Milanes, and Chris Lemus. While some may recall the band’s early days as a solo project by Erick Lobo, it was shortly after the release of their EP “sin verano” that they officially formed as the trio and transitioned as Obskuros. From the analog textures and the saturated atmospheric synths, the trio meshes their romantic and haunting melodies that have created the identity that is Obskuros. Big Leap presents...
