Amoeba Split

**Amoeba Split** is a groovy progressive rock outfit from A Coruña, Spain, known for their love of vintage sounds and intricate 1970s-inspired jams. Formed in the late 2000s, this band wears its Canterbury Scene influences (think Caravan or Soft Machine) proudly, blending psychedelic rock, jazz fusion, and whimsical melodies into a retro-futuristic mix. Their debut album, *Second Split* (2010), set the tone with its lush keyboards and winding compositions, while 2017’s *Quiet Euphoria* doubled down on their flair for improvisation and quirky storytelling.

The band kept the momentum going with *Dance of the Goodbyes* (2020), a dynamic record that swings between dreamy atmospheres and frenetic instrumental passages. Their 2023 double single *Almost Cloudless / Bread for Today* showcased their playful side, pairing breezy folk-prog with their signature jazz-rock swagger. With members like keyboardist Ricardo Castro and bassist Alberto Villarroya, Amoeba Split thrives on live energy, often dazzling audiences at prog festivals with their tight-but-loose performances and analog warmth.
