Onion - Between Baum Wolle

Review by Lucie C

Between Baum Wolle: A Raw Slice of 1997 Spanish Alt-Rock Magic Let me tell you something about Between Baum Wolle by Onion. It’s one of those albums that feels like it was made in a garage—but not because it’s sloppy or amateurish. Nah, this thing has soul. Like someone spilled their heart all over the tracks and didn’t bother cleaning up afterward. Released in ‘97 under Jabalina Música, it's got that gritty indie rock vibe with alternative rock edges sharp enough to cut glass. And yeah, it’s from Spain, which makes it even cooler somehow—like finding an underground gem where nobody thought to look. First off, let’s talk about "Just A Voice." Or wait...is it "Just a Voice"? Honestly, I don’t know if they meant for there to be two versions (or maybe my brain is glitching), but either way, this track sticks. Ainara LeGardon’s vocals are haunting yet raw, like she’s whispering secrets into your ear while strumming her acoustic guitar like it owes her money. The lyrics? They hit different. There’s no sugarcoating here; it’s just pain and longing wrapped in electric riffs courtesy of Jorge on his twelve-string beast. Every time I hear it, I feel like I’m sitting alone at 3 AM staring out a rain-streaked window. You know what I mean? That kind of vibe. Then there’s “Sick of You.” Man, this song punches hard. Fernando’s drumming is relentless, driving the whole thing forward like a runaway train, while Eliecer lays down some seriously groovy basslines. But again, it’s Ainara who steals the show—her voice cracks and soars, full of frustration and fire. By the time the chorus kicks in, you’re ready to scream along too. It’s messy, emotional, and real AF. It reminds me of being young and pissed off at the world, except now I can nod along and say, “Damn, I remember feeling like that.” What gets me most about this album is how unpolished it feels—like every note is bleeding authenticity. Carlos Torero and Onion themselves producing must’ve helped keep things grounded. No shiny studio tricks here, just raw talent pouring out across fourteen tracks (plus bonuses). Jorge shredding on both electric and twelve-string guitars, Ainara laying down lyrics that read like poetry torn straight from her diary—it’s all so damn human. And hey, funny thing—I noticed the tracklist repeats itself a bit. Is that intentional? Did someone fall asleep at the mixing board? Who knows, but honestly, it kinda works. Feels like déjà vu, like hearing old memories echo back at you. Maybe that’s why I keep coming back to it. So yeah, Between Baum Wolle isn’t perfect. Some songs blend together, others drag a little—but honestly? That imperfection is its charm. Listening to it feels like flipping through faded Polaroids of someone else’s life. Messy, beautiful, unforgettable. Oh, and here’s the kicker: imagine telling Ainara or Jorge back in ‘97 that people would still be talking about their weird little album decades later. Bet they’d laugh. Rock on, Onion.

Interesting fact about Album

Did you know? The 1997 Spanish indie rock album *Between Baum Wolle* by Onion is a hidden gem. It blends raw alternative rock with introspective lyrics penned by Ainara LeGardon, who also lends her voice and acoustic guitar skills. Fun detail: the track "Blixa" might just remind you of moody, atmospheric nights. And hey, Jorge wasn’t shy about switching between electric and twelve-string guitars to give the album its unique edge. Props to producer Carlos Torero for helping shape this underappreciated piece of art.

I love another girl
I'm not sorry, are you well???
You don't have to tell me...
how you feel inside
I know things are strange
I know you didn't expect
I'm sick of you
I'm sick of you
she's Susie. I want her
Now we're living to the west
I don't care about what I did
'cause I'm sick of you...
I'm sick of you

I'm taking my bags and taking my ...
My boots and my hat soon will be there
well I close the door

Una obra maestra tanto la película como esta canción, maravillado con todo, admiro a Alejandro Amenábar y a toda la producción por el gran trabajo y por haber incluido excelente música en la película. Gracias por compartir.
