Album lore

The National Flavour EP by The Cosmetics arrived on Prodisc in early 2009, a seven-track offering rooted in Mexican indie. The record melds jangly guitars and buoyant rhythms, with tracks like "Fancy The Jacket?" standing out amid the band's youthful energy. The inclusion of demos such as "Newcomers - Demo 06" and "Mag Queen (demo 05)" reveals a glimpse into the band’s creative process.While the EP circulated modestly, drawing over ten thousand listeners on Last.fm, it remains a modest artifact of Mexico’s indie milieu in the late 2000s. Its mixture of polished cuts and raw demos suggests a band finding its footing within the alternadores and alegría tags prevalent in the scene. The Cosmetics offer a snapshot of a moment where the local guitar bands sought a fresh voice, recorded with unpretentious directness on Prodisc.
