#10YearsInACMX: 100 songs of the decade
A decade full of amazing music. We share the 100 songs that defined us in Arts & Crafts Mexico. Since 2008 we are an independent record label passionate about music, recognized by the artists from different genres and countries that have passed through our catalog.
With the nostalgia brought by the closing of cycles, we look back to remember all those songs that accompany us in our joys and sadness, those that are part of the soundtrack of our lives and that remind us of unique moments. To speak about 2010 to 2019 is to remember Interpol shows and the love between New Yorkers and our country. It’s Alabama Shakes amazing debut that came to revitalize blues with the incredible voice of Brittany Howard. Chicano Batman’s charisma, their tropicália project full of Latin roots.
Beach House’s melancholy, which made us shed many tears with their dream pop. Alan Palomo’s chillwave and Neon Indian who had us dancing until dawn. The special bond between The Drums and Mexicans who have always known how to support each other in difficult times. Rey Pila’s ambition to reach more ears with their synth dance rock. Broken Social Scene community that adds more talent and continues to create and inspire us.
And so, each band on this playlist has a special story. We hope you have lived some special time with these songs so when you hear them, you can relive those great anecdotes. Enjoy!
