RELEASES ~ TREASURE OF GRUNDO - DÝSANTZÚ
It took two years in the Geertruida studio to get all the sounds and structures together that make Dýsantú. Just eight songs the band tried to work out in perfection. Just eight songs that
represent the full scale of everything that is Grundo. Eight songs the band believes could mark a new dawn for synth-based music in the Netherlands, though still fully aware of always being
the weird looking duck in the pond. But well, aim high or get stuck in the muddy Dutch soil.
Recording this album was a journey that took the band through every conceivable musical melt-down, band struggles, mix after mix, session after session, writers block, heaps of coffee and red
wine, print after print, day after day, and record after record of beloved musicians. And finally, Iceland, the band's first love, where this album was mixed by Pétur Úlfur
Einarsson (Pornopop, Black Valentine)
in Iceland.
Listening to this record will keep the listener interested, layer after layer, wave after wave, one song at the time. It will hopefully keep a place in your musical consciousness for years to come,
a place in your heart, and a place in your record collection. It's their baby, so take good care of it, just like they did.

REVIEWS
Incendiary Magazine:"It is a very accessible record mind, as I've hinted at before there's nothing really arsty or difficult here, rather the sensibility is that of a weird kind of pop." - Full article
The Sound of Confusion:
"Dýsantzú Yles is a mysterious song that picks elements from experimental indie bands, post-rock, chillwave, trip-hop, dreampop and probably a few other genres too. So we end up with a spooky but original tune of high quality." - Full article
QRO Magazine:
"Dark and somber like the cover art, but getting bigger and more electric in its close"
- Full article
I Vacation In Your Hell:
"Some minimalist dark electro synth-based shit from the Netherlands. Like Mineral Beings this is a different gauge of darkness seldom seen in the light of day. It has that "less is more as fuck" notion that leaves you wanting to drag your starved corpse through a rocky path towards its last descent. This is Funeral music."

Subbacultcha:
"Buried somewhere deep inside that famed house in Haarlem is Grundo's treasure. Atmospheric and brooding synth-wonder "Dýsantzú Yles" is a glimpse of the splendor and has got us digging for more."
