El Camino, the first band in the Netherlands to release an album in the 'postrock' genre existed from 1998 till 2007. In this time period they released two albums on vinyl only and lastly an EP that was published on cd. Also a split 7" was released with Dutch fellow travellers 'Zoppo'. They opened for many leading bands in the genre, like 65 days of static, Mono, Tarentel, L'altra and others. In 2021 two recordings from their last studio sessions with Corno Zwetsloot in the Next to Jaap studio were recovered and released as an MP3 only on spotify. Years after the bands break-up, El camino's two main characters; Erik de Bree and Marcel Beijk got back together to form their electronic project, The New Orland that started releasing music in 2020
