I propose a plan: Sit in your favorite armchair, connect your computer (or your phone) to the most powerful sound system in your home, and, regardless of whether the world is falling apart outside, Simply enjoy the loving and intense burst of the new album by The Zapping, Pacific Rim.
With this Peruvian quartet It's easy to remember the good old days of alternative rock from past decades, Because their songs evoke the sounds of Pavement, The Jesus and Mary Chain, and Hüsker Dü, while also resonating with contemporary groups like El Mató a un Policía Motorizado and other avant-garde acts from the continent. In all cases, a particularly pleasing characteristic is always present: the instrumental whirlwind is palpable in each recording, but also the respite of The pop melodies of the voices that stand out to establish calm over turbulent seas.
The Zapping thing, in their particular accent that distinguishes them from their notable influences, It is beautiful in its corrosive result because, even at its most strident moments, expresses an unusual tenderness, Contagious, it compels us to listen to it again and again, like sonic medicine that soothes the day's sorrows. Songs like Alicia Pop, The Blame y Admirable reptiles, They are exciting because their simple formula works: It's about expanding the lo-fi candor that, even at its most distorted peaks, It makes us feel at home.
Pacific Rim It's an uncomplicated album that immediately captivates and deserves to spread among listeners throughout the hemisphere because it's a pampering piece with character., a piece of joyful rage that envelops the viewer with its loving acidity.
Los Zapping have already made it onto the list of the best recordings of 2017. Get ready to listen to them, it's time to smile!, surrounded by the best sonic chaos of the moment.
