Santaolalla

Gustavo Santaolalla

Polished 1982 new wave and art-pop. A vibrant, melodic departure from his later minimalist scores, full of warm analog synths and earnest songwriting.

It's the guy who did The Last of Us, but he's making really great 80s new wave pop.

A bright, rhythmic optimism tempered by a sophisticated art-rock sensibility.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The shimmering guitar interplay on Vasudeva that sets a spiritual yet grounded tone for the record.
The rhythmic urgency and playful vocal delivery on Ando rodando that captures the era's new wave spirit.
The lush, harmonized chorus of Sé que va a salir el sol that feels like a genuine emotional breakthrough.
