NEW SINGLE "Look Inside" – out 6 November 2026
Few bands sound as dangerous on stage as Capsula: born in Buenos Aires in 1998 and now based in Bilbao, the power trio has spent nearly three decades taking its riff-first, fuzz-soaked psychedelia across four continents, building a reputation as a live act that burns every room it plays.
Early albums Rising Mountains (2009) and In the Land of Silver Souls (2011) came out on Barcelona's BCore, and after reimagining Bowie's Ziggy Stardust in full in 2012, the band was produced the following year by Tony Visconti himself on Solar Secrets (2013), recorded in the window between Bowie's The Next Day and Blackstar, a record that caught the ear of Rolling Stone's David Fricke. Vicious Circle, the French label that also released Slift, then put out Santa Rosa (2016) and Bestiarium (2019), before the band took full control with Phantasmaville (2021) and Primitivo Astral (2024) on their own Silver Recordings, run from their studio in Bilbao.
On the road, Capsula has recorded six live sessions at KEXP Seattle, played Austin Psych Fest, supported Pearl Jam and Iggy Pop, and toured Japan, Latin America and the UK. This summer they shared European festival line-ups with Slift, Rezn, Child, Psychlona and Acid Mammoth.
With a new album due in April 2027, led by the single "Look Inside" on 6 November, Capsula keeps doing what it has always done best: psych rock, heavy blues and space rock, driven by a South American pulse. Towering fuzz riffs, twin vocals and thundering drums: Capsula does combustion.
