Catalunya has a lot to offer, not only sight-wise but also music wise. I was introduced to Exxasens by our photographer Ruben shortly after we met and I was extremely happy to see we shared the passion for post-rock influenced music. However, using that categorization for the music of Exxasens would be very close-minded as the project encompasses so much more than the traditional scene sound.

The track resembles a perfectly cooked dish where numerous genres intermingle, united by the atmospheric ambient soundscape throughout the song. I really enjoy the riff prior to 2:00, which for some reason reminds me of QotSA and the syncopated odd time drumming later on. The track will definitely be enjoyed the people lurking around our “Rock” section! I am really looking forward to hear more of Jordi Ruiz, the man behind Exxasens.
