Lately, good music comes in small packages, many lasting barely twenty minutes. It's as if the audience is being whispered in their ear, with the finest of a whisper. «"If you want more, you'll have to wait a few months, but don't despair, in the meantime repeat this short message full of melodies that will accompany you during this time.". Yes, everyone has their own thing, but I like these compilations that go straight for the jugular, where they barely throw 4 songs at you and something else. Have you noticed that EPs are exercises for artists to share intimacy? A tune is merely a preview or a respite in the silence, and a full-length album is often an explanation of various themes that, in many cases, we want to skip ahead to hear the essentials. If one looks at what has been released the Uruguayan band Mientras crujen los durmientes, You'll realize that this is what his work is like: several promotional singles and two EPs, his self-titled work, released in 2023, and Nobody really knows where Sagayo begins, done a year ago. Just 10 songs in all this time. And now, in a very endearing way, confined to a room, but with impeccable production, They let us see a live session that they have aptly named Arguing with me.
I bet (and this is not a boastful or cruel exercise towards the band) that the vast majority of you didn't know them. We wrote about them as soon as they released their first work and then we lost track of them. Perhaps his thing isn't very much linked to intense promotion and tireless bombardment on social media, looking for listeners everywhere. But what I'm very clear about is that they make very good music, well-rounded songs. And, as we mentioned in the previous note, a beautiful expression of lo-fi nostalgia. Some people say that Montevideo has an air of beautiful sadness, the kind that accumulates in the heart without causing harm, Rather, it's about living with a necessary sorrow that few elsewhere could bear. If we believe these sayings, While they creak… is a group that has a contemporary sense of that feeling. One example of this is a tune like She, which can be added to any personal soundtrack where healthy melancholy is part of the daily resistance against the horror of these days.
The video, of course, It lasts only one thousand two hundred and ninety-seven seconds, and has no spectacular shots or visual effects. It's a live session conducted professionally, with only the bare essentials, but as time passes, magic emerges., Great indie pop that we're excited to share with you. Hopefully, many will now be able to celebrate what such understated individuals achieve with such exquisite results.
