FILIPINO POP-ROCK band IV of Spades has dropped their sophomore album, Andalucia, which also serves as their comeback after a six-year hiatus. Ahead of its release, the band held a press conference where they detailed how they got back together to make new music.
The album aims to capture “the essence of friendship, artistic maturity, and rediscovered unity,” amid the weighty legacy of being a defining act in modern OPM. Previously released tracks include “Aura” and “Nanaman,” which represent their creative rebirth.
For band members Zild Benitez, Blaster Silonga, Badjao de Castro, and Unique Salonga, it was important to “prioritize their relationship first before working on a new project.”
