Un Hombre Solo  by Décima Víctima

Décima Víctima were born in the cultural upheaval of the Movida Madrileña, the counterculture that erupted in Madrid after Franco's death. While many bands of the era chose a more pop or punk-rock sound, Décima Víctima represented the more introspective and "European" side of the scene.

The album was released in July 1984 by the independent label Grabaciones Accidentales (GASA), which they had founded themselves along with the band Esclarecidos. The creation process was unique: in the winter of 1983, the band recorded a live demo of the album on a 4-track machine. A few months later, and even though the band had essentially already disbanded for professional reasons, the members reunited in the studio for the official recording. It is classified as Post-Punk and Coldwave, with influences from Joy Division and The Cure. The lyrics and interpretation by Carlos Entrena lend an introspection and melancholy that is often characterized as a "dark sound."

The 1984 album Un Hombre Solo is one of the cornerstones of Spanish post-punk and coldwave, marking the end of a brief but influential journey in the heart of Madrid.
