Disolución Social Nuestra Imagen Actual LP

Seminal cult Mexican punk recording available on wax for the first time, and…it was worth the wait. After a few self-released cassettes and one stellar EP, DISOLUCIÓN SOCIAL released their sole full-length on cassette in 1993, and it sounded like nothing else ever (and it still sounds like nothing else). From their chaotic shit-fi origins in the 1980s, they grew into a band able to inject bizarro proto-prog and melodic punk into off-the-rails Mexican hardcore with almost-Biafra vocals, and I can only imagine what would have happened had they continued after its release in 1993. A rare find in this modern era–a record that truly sounds like no other punk record you’ve (n)ever heard, beautifully packaged with a massive booklet. Reissues of “essential” releases are everywhere, but this one deserves your attention.
