Signos (album)

Signos is the third studio album by Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released in 1986. Widely considered a landmark album in Latin American rock, Signos marked a shift in Soda Stereo's sound, incorporating more sophisticated and darker themes compared to their earlier, more lighthearted new wave beginnings. The album explores themes of alienation, identity, and social commentary.

Signos was a commercial success, solidifying Soda Stereo's status as one of the leading bands in Latin America. It spawned several hit singles, including "Persiana Americana," "Signos," and "Cuando pase el temblor." The album is noted for its innovative use of synthesizers, guitars, and rhythms, blending post-punk, new wave, and art rock influences. It is often cited as a key influence on subsequent generations of Latin American rock musicians. The album's cover art, featuring minimalist design, is also iconic.
