LP004 2008 A B-Sides collection that spans previously unreleased tracks and outtakes from the band’s first recording sessions in 2002 up to 2006′ Microbricolages. Sometimes daring, sometimes confusing, utterly overwhelming. A non stop parade of songs that fluently represent the language Album speaks in contemporary rock music.
LP003 2007 An account of the musical scene of Monterrey as seen through Album’s own ears. Divided in 4 movements, this work finds the band reworking, reproducing, covering and remixing tracks of their own as well as some of the most prominent bands at the time in their native city in northern mexico. A crafty collection of songs that work, both, as an album and as a landmark of a special place and time in mexican music history. Contains Aqui, Yate del Amor, and Sistema Perfecto / Amarillo.
EP006 2007 An avid continuation to Microbricolages, this EP was created as an Album Mailinglist exclusive download. Recorded as a concept album, where the band imagine themselves trapped under an avalanche in a distant cabin in the mountains slowly turning themselves into something different. An excelent addition to the evergrowing Album catalogue, one of the most concise works the band has offered. Contains Waiting on Baby G and Je Ne Comprends Pas.
LP002 2006 The critically acclaimed sophomore effort by Album has the band compared to Beastie Boys, Café Tacuba and The Beatles.

One of the top releases in mexico’s 2006 independent scene. Includes Es Facil, Er Bender, La mas rapida… and Moog esta muerto….

EP003 2004 From the German word for “repercussions”. An electronick-rock fiddling with IDM in short bursts and lengthy constructive beats, inspired by Cody Chesnutt’s The Headphone Masterpiece. Fun, entertaining, and experimental in early Album fashion.
EP002 2004 4 songs spurring from a single seed; Album’s admiration for Club Comfort’s debut EP results in the reimagining of their song “the way the things come” from four completely different points of view. A remix album, a tribute album, a new album.
EP001 2003 This aural experimentation ep contains 5 tracks that were made for a video installation piece by new zeland artist Steve Mcntyre. Created with samples from Eureka Sön.
LP001 2003 The debut LP which garnered attention from international media, and pioneered the digital free download format in Mexico.

Contains Centro, 2/3, Paracaidas, 62, Cowboy and Despues.
