It's just two songs. It's a preview of an upcoming album., And the protagonists warn that it is the most punk material in their recording history. This is sharp, guitar-driven sound without acrobatic complications, melodies that perfectly complement the instrumental noise that rumbles in the background., and narratives of post-adolescent disappointment stories that, when listened to, never disappoint. If we get technical and resort to old labels, we could combine the terms shoegaze e indie pop. Others will call it garage rock, and some will venture to use similar labels, resorting to adjectives like "warm" and "raw." Does this break the history of rock in two? No, and it doesn't need to. Simply creating songs that many of us want to learn and sing to release the anger and low moods we experience at any age is enough. And this duo does it well. They are Paratroopers, They are from Chile, and presented their EP a couple of weeks ago. The end of innocence.

If the story behind their name is true, that only adds to the pleasure I get from this band: Rumor has it (both good and bad) that It's all a tribute to the beautiful image of the Chilean poet Vicente Huidobro, who wrote in the preface of his book Altazor, published in 1931, “Life is a parachute jump, and not what you want to believe.”. And, assuming the information is accurate, the literary presence is noticeable in his lyrics. Because the texts written by Mariela Llovet and Joaquín Saavedra go beyond mere complaint or primary sorrow. Not just anyone can put a song on a song Treatise on loneliness and anguish (And no, ma'am, it's not a catalog of screams like those emitted by your unbearable children).

It's only six minutes and five seconds, a tiny amount of time in your day, but still, think of the antidepressant pills as just solid drops in your hands, and this is also a brief warning of what's to come. You have to be vigilant. Perhaps a soundtrack worthy of being remembered for a long time is coming.
