Inverness

INVERNESS is an anomaly. The band, incubated within four walls during 2008 in Santiago, saw the light of day with the release of their first LP at the beginning of 2009. Illuminaciones put them on the radar of a bustling Chilean scene that was mostly fed by singer-songwriters and new folk, and gave the neophytes a reference of the new national shoegaze. Since then, they have survived on the fringes of the market and the perennial expectations of rock thanks to a constant search for new sounds and frameworks in their music, structures and lyrics in their songs. Those who labelled them as shoegaze or post-rock or slowcore failed. Although they have taken a bit of all of them.
