Galgo present “Vapor”

The new album comes out in February, a Saliva Diva edition.

“It weighs a lot compared to other bodies of the same volume. It’s loaded. Units in several states. All. Particles have days: they hide in the greatness of their speed, but they also have those moments when they dance softly, with soft feet – these are the moments when they are most showy.”

VAPOR” is the first advance single from Galgo’s new album, titled DENSO, with a release date scheduled for February 29th.

The theme appears in a very close relationship and hand in hand with the album that precedes it, revealing the concept of this next and fifth work by the band from Lisbon, which reflects on physical and also non-physical states, such as the gaseous state or the ‘heavy‘ state.

The physical and non-physical states, as well as all of Galgo’s vibrant imagination and creativity, define their new approach and aesthetic sound that has accompanied them in recent years. “There is a similarity, almost homonymous, with the word dance, which at the same time makes this Anglican word heavier. Almost like a heavy dance”, emphasize the members of the project that marked ten years of career in 2023.

What can be dense? A body or object could be dense, but so could an environment or emotional state, right?

It’s a heavy dance. It is a result of this heavy dance. It’s a dance. It’s weight. And heavy. And when the dance becomes heavy, and even disconcerting, it can also heat up and then create this gaseous state that becomes objectified in this “STEAM”.

The track and accompanying visualizer are available from this day, January 11th.

About Galgo

Hailing from Lisbon, Galgo are Alexandre Moniz, Joana Komorebi, João Figueiras and Miguel Figueiredo. With three LPs (Pensar Faz Emagrecer [2016], Quebra Nuvens [2018], Parte Chão [2020]) and an EP (EP5 [2015]), they show their style that jumps between math-rock, dance-rock and post-rock.

Friends since high school, they formed the garage band in 2013 and since then they have been travelling all over Portugal showing their music, with the occasional outing, playing at Sziget in Hungary.

Having influences that range from the danceable electronics of bands like Chk Chk Chk or Metronomy to the mathematical weight of Sleeping People, the 4 members create their classic signature and thus build a discography that has a consistent vein at its core, but that explores new identities with each release.

In 2023, Galgo celebrated 10 years of existence and is now preparing the release of their new LP DENSO. Reimagining a densely danceable melancholy, it carries all physical states, uniting into one. It’s out in early 2024.
