Issue #25
¿quién dijo que esto era fácil?
Great band and a very good production that you can feel and taste. With the first two tracks, comparisons with Radiohead are inevitable, but, it's better to be compared with Radiohead than with La Cuca, isn't it?
Finally a band WITH STYLE that has a dark side (‘El Diablo') and a bright side (‘Blissful Idiot') and THEY COMPLEMENT EACH OTHER WELL. It's good to find that there is a band that is looking forward. Interesting arrangements, cold atmosphere. Great instrumentation that may not be virtuous, but follows the less is more fitly, as you can hear in the leads of ‘Get Used'.
It's dark, electric folk, sometimes intricate, intense, sometimes sounds like pacheco seventies (‘Eulogy' and ‘Part Two') and sometimes non-corny dark of this century. If this band develops well and doesn't fall in evil hands, it will transcend; maybe not massively, but as cult.
The demo gets extra points because it doesn't include any trumpets or accordions, because they're not looking for ‘national identity', and because none of the tracks is there just to fill up some space.
Indie-noise, ‘not-cocky' dark, and progressive rock fans, you better check out this band. Believe me, this demo is a keeper.
