IZAL

IZAL, a Spanish indie pop group, was formed in Madrid in 2010. The band consisted of Mikel Izal (vocals and composer), Alejandro Jordá (drums), Emanuel Pérez "Gato" (bass), Alberto Pérez (guitars), and Iván Mella (keyboards). Their initial breakthrough came with the release of their first EP, Teletransporte, in November 2010. This debut was followed by a successful tour that included over sixty concerts across Spain and notable performances at festivals like Sonorama. In April 2012, IZAL released their first full-length album, Magia & Efectos Especiales. The band continued to gain traction with subsequent albums such as Agujeros De Gusano (October 2013) and La Caja (November 2014), which featured the hit single "El Pozo". Their album Copacabana, released in September 2015, became a significant success, earning them a gold certification. The band's live performances were also highly acclaimed, winning the Premio Fest for best musical performance in 2016. IZAL's final studio album, Autoterapia, was released in March 2018 and included notable singles such as "El Pozo" and "Pausa". In April 2020, they released their last single, "La Buena Sombra", during the COVID-19 pandemic. The band announced an indefinite hiatus following the conclusion of their tour for Hogar in February 2022, effectively ending their musical journey.
