First their style was asociated to the noise pop of Los Planetas (Granada is near Loja) but later the 60s revival influences with rich vocal harmonies related them with other granadian band: Los Ángeles.
They have produced two EPs, La Caza and Ya Lo Sabes, and three LPs, "Viaje De Estudios", "Hostal Pimodan" and "Cronolánea".

ZEN
Lori Meyers Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya no sé qué hacer
No puedo alcanzar
Ese estado Zen
Sentir, viajar, soñar,
hacerlo irracional,
sentirnos como un animal
Ya no sé qué hacer
No puedo alcanzar
Ese estado Zen
Y si ves la luz
ven por mí después
llévame hasta el mar
y volveré a crecer
Saltar, gritar, volar,
hacerlo sin pensar
sentirnos de lo más bulgar
¿Dónde existe un lugar?
Los sentimientos se esconden
y dejan paso al desorden
Nos aconsejan no viajar
y nos da igual
hasta que vea el horizonte
dejando atrás la piel del bisonte
que no da ya para más
Y si no estás tú
PAPAPAPAPA
Pero existe un lugar
los sentimientos se esconden
y dejan paso al desorden
nos aconsejan no viajar
y nos da igual
hasta que vea el horizonte
dejando atrás la piel del bisonte
que no da ya para más
Si no estás tú
los sentimientos se esconden
y dejan paso al desorden
los sentimientos se esconden
y dejan paso al desorden
The lyrics of Lori Meyers's song "Zen" depict the feeling of being lost and adrift without someone who gives us clarity and balance. The repetition of the line "Y si no estás tú" ("And if you're not here") serves as a reminder that the singer's sense of inner peace is connected to the presence of another person. Without this connection, the singer feels unable to access a state of Zen, a state of calm awareness and self-realization.
The lyrics also touch on the idea of escaping from the chaos and confusion of everyday life. The line "Los sentimientos se esconden y dejan paso al desorden" ("Feelings hide and chaos takes over") suggests that our emotions can become overwhelming and distracting, leading us to seek a place of quiet and stillness. However, this desire for escape can also be seen as a form of rebellion, a rejection of societal norms and expectations in favor of a more primal and instinctual way of living.
The use of animal imagery throughout the song reinforces this idea of primal instincts and desires. The line "Sentirnos como un animal" ("Feeling like an animal") suggests a desire to abandon the constraints of human society and embrace a more natural way of being. The line "Dejando atrás la piel del bisonte" ("Leaving behind the buffalo's hide") further reinforces this idea, implying a shedding of societal norms and returning to a more authentic self.
Overall, "Zen" is a song that explores the interconnectedness of human relationships and the desire to find inner peace amidst the chaos of modern life.
