Fin del Mundo’s Hicimos Crecer un Bosque layers emotion with atmospheric melodies
Hailing from Buenos Aires with roots in Patagonia, the quartet continues to push the boundaries of indie rock, shoegaze, and post-rock, crafting a record that reflects both their southern heritage and the complexity of human emotion.
Produced by: Fin del Mundo
Recorded in Buenos Aires in May 2024, Hicimos Crecer un Bosque showcases the Argentinian band’s ability to blend soaring guitar melodies, atmospheric passages, and thoughtful lyrics. Containing eight tracks, the album includes standout singles ‘Una Temporada en el Invierno,’ Vivimos Lejos,’ and ‘El día de las Flores.’
On tracks like ‘Vivimos Lejos’ and ‘Cuando Todo Termine,’ the band’s intricate guitar work rises well above the clouds, offering a sense of vastness that mirrors their Patagonian origins. Throughout the album, Fin del Mundo balances melancholic themes with moments of resilience and hope, exploring the idea of finding growth and solidarity in challenging times.
In discussing the album, lead vocalist and guitarist Lucía Masnatta reflects:
“Hicimos Crecer un Bosque tells the perspective of someone going through a difficult personal time, where many of their loved ones had to leave, seeking a more prosperous future, while they find themselves in a devastated and hostile environment… they begin to see the fruits that were sown and nurtured with love together, despite the uncomfortable scenario, growing like trees within a large forest.”
Hicimos Crecer un Bosque is a masterful evolution of Fin del Mundo’s sound, an album that encapsulates the emotional depth, thoughtful production, and the band’s distinct ability to merge genres, making it one of the most compelling releases of 2024.
Standout Songs: ‘Una Temporada en el Invierno,’ ‘Vivimos Lejos,’ ‘El día de las Flores,’ and ‘Vendrá la Calma.’
