Signos is the third studio album by the Argentine rock band Soda Stereo, released on November 1986, by Columbia Records. It was recorded and produced Moebio Studios, located in Buenos Aires, with sessions starting mid-September 1986 and ending in mid-October. Not much detailed information is known about the recording of the album, as Moebio didn't preserve the recording sheets. Before its recording, Soda Stereo went on holiday in Europe. After staying in Spain and France, they went to the United Kingdom, where they attended various festivals. Soda Stereo were inspired and influenced by the bands that they saw perform. Moreover, frontman Gustavo Cerati had problems with cocaine intoxication and had gone to the hospital several times. In its composition, Signos features a more acoustic sound and a more "classical" rock sound, with a tendency towards soul and post-punk influences. Across the tracks, instruments used in the 1970s are featured, like the Hammond organ and electric pianos. Furthermore, critics have argued that the album started an evolution in Cerati as a writer and composer.
