Exxasens (ES)

EXXASENS, a post-rock, instrumental-rock, and cosmic-rock band from Barcelona, ​​began as a DIY project by Jordi Ruiz in 2007. Initially a solo effort, EXXASENS became a full band in 2011 with the release of ELEVEN MILES. Since then, they have released seven studio albums, with their eighth arriving in 8th November 2024. Their sound blends atmospheric guitars, expansive synthesizers, and powerful bass lines, influenced by bands like Pink Floyd, U2, The Cure, and instrumental icons such as Explosions in the Sky and Porcupine Tree. This unique mix of post-rock and progressive elements has made EXXASENS a standout in the genre. After solidifying their sound, the band embarked on tours across Europe, Russia, and Spain, sharing stages with influential acts like Toundra, Maybeshewill, and 65daysofstatic. EXXASENS has also performed at major festivals, including Primavera Sound, Dunk! Festival, and Arctangent, and has been featured in leading music magazines such as Prog! (UK) and Visions (Germany). "EXXASENS' sound captures the grandeur of space, with intricate guitar work that transcends the boundaries of post-rock." — Visions Magazine In 2016, EXXASENS paused after years of touring, but in 2019, Jordi Ruiz revived the project with the release of their sixth album, REVOLUTION. Despite the pandemic delaying their reunion tour, they returned in 2022 with a refreshed lineup and a new album. Notable Concerts: Primavera Sound (Barcelona) Dunk!
