As they continued to develop their sound, Capsula caught the attention of legendary producer Tony Visconti, known for his work with David Bowie and T. Rex.
Capsula's success continued as they toured relentlessly across Europe, the United States, and South America, playing shows with bands like Iggy Pop, Os Mutantes, and Pearl Jam, while developing a devoted fan base.
Today, Capsula is widely regarded as one of the most innovative and influential rock bands of their generation, with a career that spans over two decades and countless live performances and recordings.
Capsula's musical influences, including The Velvet Underground, The Stooges, early David Bowie, and Television, are evident in their acclaimed live performances.
In 2009, they collaborated with New York City rock legend Ivan Julian of Richard Hell and the Voidoids to record the album The Naked Flame.
The album was supported by a tour in the United States, including 39 shows, such as performances at KEXP's Concerts at the Mural in the Seattle Amphitheatre and the City Arts Festival.
In 2012, Capsula returned to the studio to record a personal reinterpretation of David Bowie's classic album The Rise and Fall of Ziggy Stardust and the Spiders from Mars, produced by John Agnello.
The album drew inspiration from Argentine painter Xul Solar and featured tracks such as "Constellation Freedom," "Seven Crimes," and "Trails of Senselessness."
Rolling Stone and the Chicago Tribune premiered the song "Blind," with critics describing the album as "garage-glam heaven on a platter" and "a dynamic compression of the Who, Cramps, and Sonic Youth in a high tide of psychedelia.
Capsula has also been featured multiple times on KEXP, the iconic Seattle-based radio station, where they delivered live sessions that highlighted their electrifying presence.
In 2018, Capsula began writing a new album titled Bestiarium, which was inspired by antique bestiaries as well as the 1962 film by Jean Cocteau in which he asks whether humans in the 2000s have become robots.
The album was created using a combination of surrealistic cut-up techniques with algorithms, which enabled the band to experiment with new sounds and push the boundaries of their music.
[8] Phantasmaville, released in 2021 and published by Capsula's label Silver Recordings, features a unique combination of psychedelic, post-punk, and Latin sounds, with pulsating rhythms and raw, energetic guitar riffs.
According to rock journalist Ignacio Julià, "In 'Phantasmaville,' they maintain and amplify their psycho-glam-rocker vocation, oblivious to the trends and flavors that dominate popular music of the new millennium.
"[9] In 2024, Capsula released Primitivo Astral, an album celebrating the band’s 25th anniversary and solidifying their place as one of the most innovative acts in contemporary rock.
The album’s title embodies the blend of the earthly and the cosmic, uniting heavy psych, post-punk, and stoner rock with a futuristic vision.
It’s a fantastic journey, an inner voyage in the format of a cosmic comic strip, with few words that shift between languages as if they were beings from tiny planets observing and synthesizing.
Clash Magazine (UK) called it "a psychedelic journey blending 60s and 70s influences," commending its seamless fusion of post-punk and cosmic atmospheres.
The magazine described the album as "a delight from start to finish, where punk, glam, stoner, psychedelia, and rock’n’roll converge in a powerful mix."
Rock & Folk also noted how the band integrates cultural and aesthetic references, such as the surrealism of Jean Cocteau and the unsettling atmospheres of David Lynch, which enhance the narrative depth of their music.
Influences as diverse as Bowie, Nebula, King Gizzard & The Lizard Wizard, The Stooges, Black Sabbath, Velvet Underground, Earthless, and The Seeds are frequently invoked when describing the band’s eclectic and unique sonic palette.
The Primitivo Astral tour has taken Capsula to prominent stages and festivals across Spain, France, and Switzerland, where the band has unleashed their boundless energy in live performances.
