CAPSULA, the explosive band formed in Buenos Aires, Argentina, and based in Bilbao, Spain, has carved a unique path in the international rock scene. With roots in South America, their blend of heavy psych, psychedelia, and post-punk has captivated audiences worldwide.

Albums like Rising Mountains (2009), produced by Ivan Julian (Richard Hell and the Voidoids), and In the Land of Silver Souls (2011), produced by John Agnello (Sonic Youth, Dinosaur Jr.), were praised by Rolling Stone and Little Steven’s Underground Garage, where Wild Fascination was named "Coolest Song in the World."

They have performed over 1,000 concerts across Europe, the United States, South America, and Asia, appearing at festivals like Primavera Sound (Spain), Austin Psych Fest (USA), and South by Southwest (SXSW). They have shared the stage with legends such as Iggy Pop, Pearl Jam, Os Mutantes, and X, establishing themselves as icons of contemporary rock.

In 2013, they released Solar Secrets, produced by Tony Visconti (David Bowie, T. Rex). CAPSULA has also been invited multiple times to KEXP, the prestigious Seattle-based radio station, where they recorded several live sessions.

In 2022, they reaffirmed their independence with Phantasmaville, produced in their own studio, marking a milestone in their artistic evolution.

Primitivo Astral

Released in October 2024, Primitivo Astral represents a high point in CAPSULA's 25-year journey. This electrifying album combines raw energy, cosmic vibrations, and a sonic exploration that bridges the best of rock's past and present. Tracks like "Spelling Love", "Estrellas Dobles", and "(In the Garden of) Narcissus" showcase their ability to hypnotize and surprise.

The album’s title embodies the blend of the earthly and the cosmic, uniting heavy psych, post-punk, and stoner rock with a futuristic vision. According to Martín Guevara, "Primitivo Astral is a journey where riffs are always the cornerstone of everything we do. It’s a fantastic journey, an inner voyage in the format of a cosmic comic strip, with few words that shift between languages as if they were beings from tiny planets observing and synthesizing."

Coni describes the album as "a crossover between what feels ancient and what feels like science fiction, a constant balance between the familiar and the unknown." She further explains, "The context is the unreal, the intangible—the possibility of understanding our surroundings through the fantastic. Music has always been our way of exploring, but it’s also a reflection of our transformed reality."

The songs were created with complete creative freedom, as the band had total control over the studio environment. This allowed them to experiment with textures and innovative dynamics. Martín notes, "We’ve learned to combine visual material, fantasy, and memory on the road—it’s part of our dynamic." Coni adds, "This album has a raw, direct energy and a special force."
