Razorcake #143 (December 2024/January 2025) – New Zine

Razorcake #143 Miss España interview by Jennifer Federico and Todd TaylorWe wilt, we bloom.Without decay, there is no regeneration. Miss España taps into the underappreciated beauty of the process of decomposition, the exploding petals of a bouquet of flowers tossed on top of a gravestone.Melancholic ache is the soil in which Miss España’s songs are planted, but this is no goth affair. A scattering-cockroaches style of synth slithers between light and dark. The bass worms and twists around, elevating and descending, sometimes gummi-worm bright. The drums churn, turning rotting nutrients into a rich compost of sound.Seedlings grow. Petals unfurl. Pistils emerge, stigmas sticky. Three broken lilies play to form a brightly-colored mausoleum of sound that’s simultaneously haunting and celebratory. Miss España is a trio of ridiculously talented women based out of Madrid, Spain and their debut LP Niebla Mental is as stunning as it is rare.   Hex Code interview by Martin Wong and DarylAlt
