Novamente a Espanha aterriza nas páginas do TBTCI, depois de recentemente Linda Guilala, Berlina e Apartamentos Acapulco terem iniciado a invasão espanhola por aqui, é chegada a hora do quarteto Galaxina e seu excelente debute "Evasión Y Victoria" lançado recentemente pela Clifford Records.
Totalmente em espanhol o álbum cativa do início ao fim principalmente pela força melódica da banda, mesclando vestígios oitentistas e shoegaze clássico, nunca estridente ao extremo tampouco etéreo, o Galaxina se equilibrar na tênue linha entre as duas vertentes.
Uma estreia de gente grande.
