IV of Spades returns with new album 'Andalucia' featuring Unique Salonga

Filipino pop-rock band IV of Spades has released their sophomore album "Andalucia," marking the return of vocalist Unique Salonga after a five-year hiatus.

The 12-track album explores themes of love, mental health, yearning, flaws, and taboo subjects, with a sound described as warm, guitar-driven, and less synth-heavy.

The band emphasized the importance of rebuilding their relationship and bond before embarking on new music.

IV of Spades' comeback was preceded by the surprise release of their single "Aura" in July, which marked Salonga's return after his departure in 2018 for a solo career.

The album "Andalucia" is led by the single "Monster," a rock anthem that blends retro vibes with a contemporary feel, and also features previously released songs like "Aura," "Nanaman," "Suliranin," and "Konsensya."

The opening track, "Tara," is an acoustic rock song about wanting to see another person again, while "Paru-Paro" is a love song reminiscent of classic OPM.

"Nanaman" delves into themes of mental health and heartbreak, followed by "Konsensya," a song about yearning.
