Capsula is a band from Buenos Aires that currently resides in Bilbao, Spain. Capsula, Spanish for Capsule, is named after a lyric from the David Bowie classic ‘Space Oddity.’ The group has been around since 1997, and have toured the world extensively. They recently played SXSW, where they caught the eye of Rolling Stone magazine critic David Fricke. He became an instant fan and selected them as one of his Fricke’s Picks.

I’m digging their new album, Rising Mountains. Highlights include ‘Magnetic Brain’, ‘Wild C’, ‘Original Is Dead’, ‘Found & Lost’ and ‘The Sea Cave.’
