Six years after stepping out of the spotlight, IV of Spades, a distinct voice in the music scene, makes their long-awaited return. Their unexpected hiatus left fans wondering if the band’s story had quietly ended. Now they are back, older, wiser, and ready to make their mark once again.
IV of Spades quickly rose to fame with their unique sound and retro-inspired aesthetic, introducing younger audiences to a different side of Filipino music. They made waves with hits like Mundo, Hey Barbara, and Where Have You Been, My Disco? which showcased their unique sound and captivated fans. Now, the band reunites with Andalucia, their first album as a foursome, revealing their more vulnerable and poetic side.
Listening to Andalucia feels like catching up with old friends who have grown and found their rhythm again. The tracks carry maturity, friendship, and a sense of reconciliation. It is IV of Spades, redefined, yet unmistakably themselves. The surprise release of their comeback single Aura highlights their enduring friendship, while Monster hits as a vibrant, gritty rock anthem reminiscent of their early sound. Meanwhile, Rewind radiates the warmth of early 2010s indie-alt hits – a nostalgic, feel-good track where the band completely immerses themselves in the music.
The release of Andalucia comes at just the right moment. The album coincides with their sold-out December 12, 2025 concert at the Mall of Asia Arena, with a second night on December 13 added due to high demand. The band will perform new songs alongside reimagined classics, thanks to our friends over at karpos. Tickets are still available for Day 2 at smtickets.com, so don’t miss it.
