Sehore releases new album ‘Husfikbur’

Sehore is a Spain-based a project that’s quickly made a impression in alternative music with a truly unique and exciting approach. Arriving on the scene earlier this year with the debut album Ladencia, Sehore introduced a style that paired traditional chord progressions with unexpected harmonies, leaning into dissonance, an element rarely found in popular music. This experimental ethos, coupled with a clear melodic outlook, has already won the project recognition from both listeners and tastemakers, establishing Sehore as one of the most intriguing new voices in the European music sphere.

Ladencia, recorded at Paco Loco Studio and mastered by Mario G. Alberni at Kadifornia, was an impressive first chapter. Released via MusicHunters Records, it resisted being boxed into a single style or era by bringing together elements from across decades and filtering them into something thoroughly original. Its boldness paid off, earning the project the Silver Medal at the Global Music Awards 2025 for the song “Pesadilla.”

Now, Sehore returns with the sophomore record titled Husfikbur, a continuation and expansion of the ideas first explored in Ladencia. The album’s title conjures the image of a shop window; reflective yet transparent, offering glances into scattered memories reshaped into music. It presents songs that act like pieces of lost stories, both a space to reflect and a pillow to rest upon. While the themes often circle around melancholy, Sehore insists that the tears it provokes are not final but cleansing, carrying the listener toward release.

Opening track “Bossa velha” revisits the rhythms of bossa nova, reshaped through the lens of time and decay, while “Locura” locks into the augmented scale with hypnotic repetition, unearthing tension within its circular structure. Songs like “Charanga” inject playfulness with bouncy guitar rhythms, intricate leads and catchy vocal leads which roll over the mellow rock arrangement.

“Plástico” takes a sharp turn into social critique, using a three-note chromatic setting to frame a lyrical protest against pollution and the overuse of plastic, capturing the perfect display of Sehore’s discordant sound via a kaleidoscopic slice of avant-garde art rock. Other highlights include songs like “Tientos, tangos y siguiriya funk” which deconstructs flamenco stylings with pulsing beats of stuttered rhythmic switch ups while elegant flickers of guitar and emotive vocals combine to form an engrossing listening experience from start to finish.

“Armas,” written in 5/4 time, confronts the arms industry with haunting directness, reflecting that biting context in an energising sound of chugging rhythms, twanging lead notes and commanding vocal performance. “Serendipia” offers lighter reflections on chance and unexpected encounters, wrapped up in a bright indie rock aesthetic propelled by steady drums, graceful guitar plucks and expressive vocals carrying memorable melodic leads throughout.

“Hipnosis” descends into an eerie atmosphere inspired by Charcot’s experiments at the Salpêtrière and the ghostly sounds of a Theremin, echoing classic horror cinema with a misty soundscape of unsettling instrumental textures and hushed spoken word vocals. Closing the record with “Lagrimita, airy guitar notes glides through a smokey scene while moving vocals drift above, casting a dreamy and heartfelt finale to a sensational second album from the artist. Recorded at Paco Loco Studio with mastering at Kadifornia by Mario G. Alberni and released by MusicHunters Records, Husfikbur sees Sehore go from strength to strength as a project able to deliver the unexpected, instil profound themes into their music and still offer a musically engaging sound.
