Agustina Bécares – A brief account of an irreversible event
We hadn't heard any new music from this artist from Mendoza for four years, and we're happy to hear from her again. Her songs, which could be categorized as contemporary pop-rock, have a dark structure, and the choice of certain instrumental sounds creates an atmosphere that seems to have been crafted for the soundtrack of a mystery series. However, what continues to draw attention to Bécares is her distinctive voice. Her singing reaches high frequencies unimaginable in other artists, and her diction is breathtaking, as she knows that with each syllable she pronounces, she imprints a very personal stamp on her work. This is a production that contains five deeply developed songs that deserve to be listened to, discovering treasures in every detail of the recording and feeling every personal emotion expressed there.
Dany Varmen – Strange Pilgrimages
From Guadalajara comes this intimate, contemporary, solo folk-rock project. Dany Varmen is solely responsible for the composition, performance, and production of this collection of ten songs, crafted with acoustic instruments, electric strings, and digital elements. Throughout its entirety, the music of this album traverses diverse soundscapes., weaving together moments of guitar-driven rock, blues, acoustic folk and subtle spacey electronic textures, without ever losing the identity that the author has worked towards throughout the entire process. The overall result is interesting and worth listening to carefully.
Dante's Inferno – Black
We close today's chapter by heading south to Montevideo. Prepare to hear some great lo-fi noise, accompanied by occasional melodies that, amidst the sudden corrosion, impart an unexpected tenderness. This Uruguayan trio, formed in 2002, returns with a fun, honest album, full of breathtaking moments. When listening to this production, the listener must pay close attention to every second, because around every corner there's a surprise, a twist that shatters all expectations. This is a perfectly suitable publication for those who are looking for new sonic adventures and are bored with conventionality. This will surely never be broadcast on commercial radio, but more than one daring listener will be able to rejoice at this unexpected and fascinating garage experiment.
