This Slowdive inspired Chilean band just released their first full-length album this year! In a 2013 interview, they had this to say about their band name: "The name came to us thanks to Vanessa, who studies Arts. She always would go to Audino’s place after class, feeling dizzy and asking for a glass of milk to feel better. Her sickness was produced by a sort of intoxication with Trementina, a substance she used to work with for hours while she was painting with oleo. For Audino it seemed to be a weird name for a diluent; it was even a pretty name to which you would never relate something similar to turpentine when you said the word. Given that it was a strange name that allowed the imagination to have freedom but, at the same time, it was the corresponding word for a material used to erase art, we thought it was perfect for us."
