Agrio is a duo from Madrid, Spain and using a “what if…” methodology they write instrumental songs that they send later to a revolving cast of their talented and generous friends so they can add their magic. With this in mind they sent music to MARK LANEGAN, Enablers frontman PETE SIMONELLI & to SCOTT MCCLOUD from Girls Against Boys, Soulside and so much more.

‘El Amigo Americano’ is the result of these collaborations, 10 tracks of some of the most beautifully striking music around. The work with Mark Lanegan and Pete Simonelli were originally released as two vinyl EPs and Scott McCloud as a digital EP.

EP 1 – EP one ‘La Murga Ep’ with Mark Lanegan was their debut on Feb. 2020 EP2 – followed it that same autumn with The Thin Man EP featuring Pete Simonelli (Enablers). Both were originally released on vinyl via the San Francisco based label Broken Clover Records. These records sold out fast. EP 3 – “Repeat to Infinity EP” (digital only), with Scott McCloud’s (Girls Against Boys, New Wet Kojak, Paramount Styles) on voice and guitar. The three EP’s are compiled together on one LP as “El Amigo Americano”.

La Murga Ep* + The Thin Man Ep** + Repeat To Infinity EP*** = EL AMIGO AMERICANO

The album is mastered by John McBain (Monster Magnet, Wellwater Conspiracy) Agrio is David Flores and Jorge Fuertes with Mark Lanegan, Pete Simonelli and Scott McCloud.
