Hacienda 'Loud Is The Night' (2008)
Posted on September 29, 2008 in Prescriptions (Category: Default)
Here we go again patients, it’s that time again at the 115th Dream when we stick by our rock ‘n roll stethoscopes and fight for the liberation of good music. Today we have a band of brothers (and cousin) hailing from the Alamo city, San Antonio Texas. A sound that’s infectin’ the halls of the asylum. Patients, if yer ears are plannin' on addin' a little bit of new music to their day then they better be listenin' to these guys. The name of the band is Hacienda and their sound radiates laid back cosmic dreamscapes and beautiful neo-retro note clusters that bleed through the grooves. If you were mad enough to take the elements of The Beatles, Beach Boys, The Band and mix ‘em up in a rock ‘n roll cauldron you would get Hacienda’s new album Loud Is The Night. This quartet has a knack for four part harmonies and that 60s AM dial sound-but in a 21st Century way. A sound that puts a good number of these 'throwback' bands in a day care center. 
The doctors and nursemaids here have had these guys in the waiting room since The Black Keys' frontman Dan Auerbach said, “They sent me a demo and they blew my fucking mind.""They're Mexican-Americans who are obsessed with the Beach Boys," he said. "I told everybody about them". "Loud Is The Night was recorded and produced live in Auerbach's home studio in Akron, Ohio-with guest spots by Frank and Scott from Dr. Dog.
Patients, our top 10 of 2008 is roundin' out nicely.
Loud Is The Night is out now on Alive Naturalsound Records.
Hacienda are: Villanueva brothers Abraham (keys/vox), Rene (bass/vox), Jaime (drums/vox) and cousin Dante Schwebel (guitar/vox).
