Pop/jazz/experimental group Marlango began gaining their loyal underground European following in the late '90s by drawing heavily on dark, brooding recording artists and filmmakers like David Lynch and Björk for inspiration. Touring throughout Spain, Portugal, and Japan supporting their self-titled debut, Marlango eventually racked up better than 50,000 record sales, earning gold record status. Their sophomore release, Automatic Imperfection, hit the market in 2005, which also went on to achieve gold record status. The band's third disc featured renowned recording artists Jorge Drexler and Miguel Bosé as guests, marking the band's steady rise in credibility and public popularity. Electrical Morning was released in 2007, followed by tireless touring of their native Spain's most reputed small venues, including Fórum Fnac Valencia and Teatro Moderno in Murcia. ~ Evan C. Gutierrez
