Club Furies

Catastrofe Club is the unclassifiable project of Josep M. Herrera and David Molina, based at Roca Umbert Fàbrica de les Arts in Granollers, Barcelona. Herrera handles vocals, guitars and part of the programming. Molina builds the low end, the keys, and shares programming duties. Together they’ve spent over a decade sharpening a sound world that’s instantly recognizable.

On October 7, 2026, the Catalan duo releases Un Futuro Tranquilo through Periphylla Records, out on vinyl and digital. It’s their fourth full-length, and it plays like a genuine reset after closing out a trilogy they built as one continuous story.

Traces of The Cure, Sigur Rós, Idles, Fontaines DC, Astrud, Punsetes, Albert Pla and even Faemino y Cansado surface throughout the record, more audible here than on earlier work. At the same time, Catastrofe Club holds onto the identity and the singular universe they’ve spent years building.

Something has shifted in tone. Call it maturity, call it the acceptance of catastrophe, call it the calm that settles in after a defeat you’ve already made peace with. On this record they insist their darkness sounds, and feels, brighter than ever before. The messages stay raw and direct, carrying that peculiar sense of humor that defines them, but this time they ease off the direct confrontation with the listener. From the opening track, they build an unsettlingly peaceful future, one where the human species already belongs to the past.

That future kicks off on ‘En el futuro,’ the opener that drops us straight into the record’s mood. Everything sounds rough-edged and hopeless, wrapped in cinematic, apocalyptic atmosphere. That’s where the line that governs everything else shows up: in the future, there is no future. From there, the rest of the album opens up, because people are gone, but color stays, animals stay, nature stays.

‘Todo sigue’ picks up that question and turns it into a statement. Modernity placed the human being at the center of everything, raising reason above God, and now Catastrofe Club asks what happens once that human is gone. Their answer lands simply and hard: everything keeps going. It’s a declaration that shakes modern civilization, striking both sonically and conceptually.

A deep introspective stretch follows. ‘Casa Piedra Camino’ and ‘Satélites’ work almost as a single ethical reflection, the kind of thinking that had to happen before an album like this could exist. Sonically they drift into ambient and experimental territory, with movements as deep as they are subtle. ‘Querido yo’ carries that same path further, conceptually and sonically, and turns that introspection inward, straight toward the self doing the writing.

The heart of the record arrives with ‘El fin de la especie,’ the conceptual core of the whole release. The title spells out what the album has been circling. What’s left is the question of what comes after, and that answer lives back in the opening track, inside a loop where every song points to another within the same universe.

‘Un día mejor’ reignites post-punk’s nostalgic romanticism, wrapped in the dark electricity that coats the whole record in longing and cheerful depression. The title fits precisely, because the track promises better days are always ahead.

‘La belleza’ settles into near-ambient territory to show, through that genre alone, the beauty of the world and the beauty of sound itself. From there, all that’s left is to listen and enjoy.

The record closes the loop with ‘En el futuro II.’ Where the opening track announced this time and this reality with pessimism and aggression, this second part carries a conscious attitude toward what the future holds, backed by striking confidence. ‘Nadie’ deepens that idea and closes the album. That future is now seen with calm, and that same calm comes through with a kind of glory.

Journalist Oriol Serra describes Catastrofe Club’s first three records as the soundtrack to an aimless world, a system worn down by its own inertia. For him, Un Futuro Tranquilo narrates the chronicle of the day after, presenting dystopia as an escape route, set to the dark electronics and danceable post-punk that are the band’s signature, now with more atmospheric finishes.

Xavier Garriga Giol, who’s followed the band since its earliest days, praises the coherence of this evolution. He points to black as one of the band’s defining marks, still dominating the rest of the palette even on a record full of reworked textures and remarkably direct lyrics.
