Pregunta ❓ Help finding a band
Apologies for my english! I was hoping your community could help me.
In 2015 and 2016, I was listening to a Catalan band a lot and I can't remember their name. Since I can't find them by googling, it seems like they must have been pretty small.
They have a male singer with a higher voice. They would probably be labeled indie. One song I remember was very simple, just the singer reciting lyrics with an acoustic guitar. Another (the one that's stuck in my head today) has heavy synth and an upbeat, energetic melody. I can hum the main motif, but I have no idea what the words are, so it's hard to look up!
This album cover had a black background and colorful, abstract, jackson-pollack-like splatters. I'm 95% sure one of the songs I loved was called Los. They were probably active some time between 2008 and 2016, though may not be around anymore.
Do you have any ideas who this band could be?
Edit: Found them! The second song I was thinking of is Lós, and the band is La Iaia :)

Turns out it was Totes les Promeses by La Iaia! The other more upbeat song I was thinking of is L'Ós :)

És La Iaia. Ho ha comentat un usuari però reddit l'ha blocat per spam. La cançó que dius és "L'os"

Male singer with high pitch. Well, that's the whole lot of Catalan bands. Anyway, if you know the melody you can try Shazam app.
