The searing passion Habak plays with is both matched by and sourced from their desire to imagine a different future, unmarred by the struggle of surviving life under capitalism. The Tijuana, MX band’s crust melódico is stronger and more intricately written than it’s ever been on their third LP and sixth official release, "Mil Orquídeas En Medio Del Desierto" (A Thousand Orchids in the Middle of the Desert).
Following their 2015 debut "Insania" and 2020’s "Ningún Muro Consiguió Jamás Contener La Primavera", Habak’s "Mil Orquídeas En Medio Del Desierto" expounds on a sound whose influence feels equal parts influenced by d-beat creators Discharge and atmospheric post-hardcore legends Envy. Such a sound could only be born of the worldwide underground, of the global anti-capitalist movement that DIY has become. It is fitting then, that their latest album be a work created entirely by the band themselves, with production, mixing, and mastering by Habak drummer Patrick Alexander at Cacho Studio in Tijuana in the fall of 2024.
Habak is at the point of dynamic mastery. Nothing is done without intention, every upbeat part is prefaced. Nothing fast happens without introduction, and certainly not by a hastily added drum fill. Habak are too sophisticated for that, especially for a band combining two genres both not exactly known for such discernment and poise. Likened to early 2000’s Spanish emocrust, Habak’s playing from guitarists Juan and Eduardo is as gorgeous as ever, but the songwriting accentuates the beauty of such melodies in a way still unachieved by many of their peers. Rounded out by bassist Alejandro and vocalist Alex, the band forms like a diamond with perfect clarity, shining with a beauty that only an ensemble refined by over a decade of pressure could.
Vinyl LP comes packaged in a deluxe gatefold jacket with matte finish and gold foil embossing.
