CAPSULA – BESTARIUM

In 2018 Capsula start writing a new album titled ‘Bestiarium’ inspired by the antique bestiaries and by Jean Cocteau film of 1962 where he asks the 2000s humans if they have already became robots. The album ‘Bestiarium’ is Capsula’s personal answer to that curious and accurate question. Each song of the album has a beast or creature that is half-human, half-beast, half-animal, half-god, including cyborgs as beasts of the future. To write the lyrics of ‘Bestiarium’, instead of using the surrealistic method of an exquisite corpse among humans, the band used the surrealistic technique writing sentences and visual ideas with algorithms, using digital platforms. ‘Bestiarium’ was half created, thought and dreamt during months by Capsula and by learning and prediction algorithms. Recorded at Silver Recordings, the songs of this album have a noir spirit. The first singles are ‘Sirens’s Lips’, ‘Cry With You’ and a version of the band The Lords of The New Church ‘Russian Roulette’. The album is published on March 22 of 2019. Barcelona’s magazine Ruta 66 describes ‘Bestiarium’ as ‘A dark retrofuturist and punk paradise’ and the musical publication MondoSonoro as a ‘Devilish and exciting artifact’
