There are album reviews that, although always based on the author's individual tastes and circumstances, contain an explanation that allows them to be even more personal to the reader. These notes are more like a confidence, to an act of trust in whoever examines this text and understands that, more than an encyclopedic analysis full of accurate data certifying that the recording has been studied to its ultimate limits, What is written reflects more the feelings of emotion and celebration that surround the author of these lines. To understand all this introductory jargon, here's a confession that more than one of my friends will have noticed over time: Ever since I first heard the albums of the Scottish band The Jesus and Mary Chain, I immediately subscribed to the line of explosive noise bands, who, amidst the apparent instrumental chaos, contrast their intense noise with brilliant melodies bordering on nostalgia. and to the gentle pop that soothes our bestial cravings. Inside a thunderous box of endless guitars, in every example of this type of shoegaze Contemporary man keeps a heart that softens, that tames the rage that shields us.
I love it Theorem, the new album from the Chilean band Artificial. This compilation of eight songs was released a few days ago. It has sensitive, rough, melancholic, and exquisite material. It has a garage rock feel, but it turns the constant drone into a double-edged sword: On the one hand, it happily poisons the air with penetrating distortions, and on the other, in the same space, the vocals, enveloped in subtle reverberations, envelop and embrace the cadence. The recordings constantly navigate this rollercoaster ride., ranging from the temperate plain to the saving and resounding sonic alteration.
It's barely twenty-seven minutes (and a little more), unmissable from beginning to end. Listen from the first second, but if you want to accelerate to the climax of this production, skip to the last track., Coral, And immerse yourselves in this resonant cascade of 277 seconds. This recording, on its own, consecrates the day you put it on your stereo and the speakers deservedly explode with this gem. This is the noise we deserve.
