This is a totally new band for me.
This trio is from Chile. This is their 3rd album. The opening track Ciudad
Fantasma is pretty cool stuff with good dynamics, some Spanish lyrics and at
times reminds me of La Ira de Dios and other times the beauty of Ethiva. Alea
Iacta Est has a sort of spoken word vocal (in English) and some more intense
guitar on this long 8 min track. A bit spacey at times as well. Sinchronicity Highway
starts with a nice melodic guitar and great bass line, again with some spoken
words in English. It slow builds up and Alberto uses some cool effects on his
guitar. Side B starts off with Valentina, a slow more droney and dreamy track
with some cool bass and delays on the guitar. Now the vocals are back to
Spanish. Nice guitar solo, one of the
few on the record. A Curious case of Rape features Santiago Gonzáles. This is a
more uptempo rocker but with some cool spacey guitar, spoken words and one of the
more psychedelic tracks. A nice short under 3min blast. Normandie is a quite
fast track also with a very dreamy post rocky guitar until he kicks into the
effects pedals and blasts your head to a new place. The way the vocal is mixed
is quite cool. It doesn’t get any Better goes back to the spoken words in
English. This is a more relaxed track to start after two intense ones. It
builds up and gets quite heavy with some cool effected guitar but maintains the
main melody. On your Knees is the last track and a excellent heavy rocker.
Fucking cool record.
The
vinyl comes in a couple of different colours, with a thick insert card, a small
card with the album cover and downloads code as well. A very nice package.
