Los Planetas released “Dos cruces” digitally on October 23 as the first preview of their next album. The recording revisits the 1952 bolero associated with composer Carmelo Larrea, bringing older popular repertoire into the band’s current work.
The group had already performed the song at several shows during the summer before preparing this studio release. The official announcement emphasizes a measured, restrained interpretation rather than a fast reworking of the source material.
The choice connects a band with more than three decades of history to an even older song tradition. It also gives listeners a first recorded indication of the forthcoming album’s direction. The title and release date for the full project were not specified in the announcement, while “Dos cruces” is available now as its opening single.
