Ciudad Jardín was a Madrid-based pop group founded by Rodrigo D. Lorenzo and Eugenio Haro Ibars.

Rodrigo was the guitarist for the group Ella y los Neumáticos and Eugenio played the same in the group Glutamato Ye-Yé, both of them based in Madrid. in 1984, Ramón Recio asked Rodrigo and Eugenio to record an album for his label Goldstein, but the collapse of the main distribution company for the independent record labels prevented Ramón from editing the album, even though it had already been recorded.

In the beginning, Ciudad Jardín formed part of the scene known as 'Hornadas Irritantes' (the 'Irritant Batch' in English), which was later labeled by the media as 'la Movida madrileña' (the Madrid Movement). The Hornadas Irritantes also included their friends Glutamato Ye-Yé and Derribos Arias, but they were also close in style to other contemporary groups such as Esclarecidos.

The death of Eugenio left Lorenzo as the sole leader of the band, which continued to release albums until 1996. In that year, after a concert at Madrid's Sala Suristán, the band split up. Although they never sold many albums, they received much praise from the underground press, and the support of a small, but dedicated group of followers.

Their song 'Homúnculo' was featured in the soundtrack for the 2013 film 'El futuro', directed by Luis López Carrasco. Read more on Last.fm. User-contributed text is available under the Creative Commons By-SA License; additional terms may apply.
