The news regarding Doctor Explosion’s first release after an extensive recording break was made over the Summer with the announcement of their forthcoming album Superioridad Moral. Now, a new single off the album, along with the tour dates coinciding with the record’s release, is the latest update from the garage maniac sons of Asturias!

January 10th, 2016, was the passing date of David Bowie. For some people, it’s a day when they remember where they were upon learning the news. Superioridad Moral’s third single, “El Día Que David Bowie Murió” has Jorge Explosion recalling that day seven years later with the below quote.

January 10, 2016 – Circo Perrotti Studios, Gijón (ES)
“David Bowie died a few hours ago, and three musicians decided to express their surprise and admiration. Thus was born “The Day David Bowie Died,” an ode to artistic immortality. In an improvised session full of sound savagery and Pop spontaneity, Doctor Explosión reflect on their own daily insignificance in the face of death with their atypical and personal Garage de Autor. Fuzz’s raging guitars and delicious vocal harmonies combine in this energetic hit that is already playing across the Atlantic, at number three of Bill Kelly’s Top 10 for Little Steven’s Underground Garage.”. – (Jorge Explosion: 2022)

El Día Que David Bowie Murió” is the latest single premiering off Superioridad Moral with videos for “Insatisfacción” and “Vestir De Mujer” already available and charting on Spotify. 

With a new album, the band sports a new look. Expanding from their traditional trio into a quartet, the band is anchored by Jorge Explosion (vocals/guitar), César Crespo (guitar), and ex-Cooper players Conrado Martin (drums) and Dani Montero (bass). Six years in the making, Superioridad Moral is the first offering by Doctor Explosion since 2010’s Hablaban Con Frases Hechas. Writing and recording began at Jorge’s Estudios Circo Perrotti in Gijón, where Jorge has produced groups such as The Jackets, The Fleshtones, Messer Chups, Holly Golightly, and many others.  For mastering, Jorge enlists the assistance of notable Abbey Road mastering engineer Frank Arkwright whose production credits include New Order, The Smiths, Joy Division, Oasis, and Arcade Fire, among others.

Superioridad Moral will be available on vinyl, CD, and all digital platforms on November 4th via Slovenly Recordings. Pre-orders for each format can be found here

I've been a music fan since my parents gave me a record player for Christmas when I was still in grade school. The first record I remember owning was "Sesame Street Disco." I've been a professional writer since 2004, but writing long before that. My first published work was in a middle school literary magazine and was a story about a zoo in which the animals could talk.
