The collaborative 7″ split single between Fetus and Les Testarudes comes with a bold visual identity designed by Pau Llop. The artwork captures the raw energy and political edge of the bands’ sound.
At the core of the design is GS Triomf (by GS-Type). Its sharp serifs and rhythm inject a sense of urgency and directness, echoing the aesthetics of protest posters and grassroots publishing. Used for the main titles, Triomf anchors the artwork with a voice that feels both historic and uncompromisingly contemporary.
Complementing it is Plast, a sans serif developed by 131 (Pau Llop & Esteve Padilla). Its rough, industrial character balances the elegance of Triomf, creating a visual tension that reflects the music’s mix of tradition, critique, and rebellion.
Together, the two typefaces embody the spirit of the project: rooted in collective identity, and designed to amplify voices that demand to be heard.
The record was jointly released by Buenritmo and Bankrobber. From the latter (translated):
The vinyl includes “La gran xefla” by Fetus as performed by Les Testarudes and “Terra de secà” by Les Testarudes as performed by Fetus, as well as a version of the classic “Au, jovent!”, where Les Testarudes already added their voices to the original Fetus recording.
