Parasite – Singularity
From Guadalajara comes this intense combination of psychedelic rock, punk spirit, and corrosive electronic sounds. This sum of distortions and sonic alterations results in a package of five long songs (the shortest is around six minutes)., each of them being thick, resonant journeys presented to an audience seeking unusual, acidic experiences. To some ears untrained for this type of experience, this album will seem like a conglomeration of simple and annoying noise; others will enjoy confronting furious expressions and vibrant distortions of surprising construction that help break the routine of traditional music to which we are exposed every day.
Yaatra – Umbra
Now let's move to Buenos Aires to listen to this instrumental rock group, whose sound travels through the limits of doom metal, stoner rock and other more ambient textures. Umbra It's a nearly seven-minute song that seems designed for the soundtrack of a space adventure. At least one scene, in which we listeners climb aboard a magnificent spaceship headed straight for the brightest lights of the stratosphere, manages to convince us that all humans are stardust. This post features only one track, but it provides ample proof of these artists' genius.
Malaysia Airlines passengers – Reverb sounds
Our journey today ends with a revelation. Do you remember a few years ago when an Asian airline's plane disappeared from radar, and for months every conspiracy theory imaginable was concocted? Well, it seems some of those who traveled on that turbulent flight have found a home in Montevideo. And they dedicated themselves to making tasty tunes of reggae, rocksteady and ska, to the delight of fans dedicated to searching for hidden sonic gems. This is a delightful nine-track album, with playful lyrics and plenty of danceable tunes. The whole thing is captivating, but we dare say the most appealing aspect is the exquisite use of keyboards, which lends an exciting perspective to the Caribbean from the banks of the Río de la Plata. Highly recommended.
