Population – Before leaving
Some of you know that we detest most of the lyric videos we receive in our email. We think it's a bad habit acquired from another unpleasant custom: karaoke sessions. Furthermore, we feel that the lyrics clash horribly with the aesthetic initially established in the video, because they're surely added in the final stages of editing, with an insensitive typographical choice born of exhaustion, laziness, and desperation to see the finished product. In this case, fortunately, we're wrong. This is the lyric video, yes, but it doesn't look like one., because the phrases of the song blend in, like a magazine clipping, with the development of the montage and are pleasantly integrated into the landscape. This clip, which combines moments of stop-motion And snippets of footage, likely shot with a cell phone, have a beautiful, handcrafted result, giving the right colors to the folk-pop sound of this Mexican band, whose spirit indie We are very pleased. Good job.
Grooves – I don't care
This Bogotá-based project, led by Juan Felipe Ochoa, has been gaining recognition as it releases its contemporary pop songs, easily accessible to an audience seeking intimate and uncomplicated sounds. The audiovisual development of its releases also contributes significantly.In this case we have images captured by the same artist during a winter trip to Sweden, Denmark and Lithuania, These tracks have then been exquisitely manipulated by Gabriel Leaño, precisely and delicately marking the song's rhythm with stunning visual effects, making the whole experience enjoyable throughout. This is, without a doubt, extracting the aesthetic essence of a vacation.
The Mutant Carrot – There were 33 of us
From the city of Cartagena de Indias, and enveloped in a corrosive sound, with cruel and amusing lyrics, comes a product that more than one person, accompanied by their mother and the most religious aunt, might describe as disgusting, lewd, and even satanic. And deep down, all we're really seeing is a child's drawing of a bus that then catches fire several times during the course of the accompanying tune. «"While everything burned, teacher, how I'm going to miss you."» the band's singer shouts, whose story manages to turn a supposed road drama into a fascinating piece of black humor and a fine recovery of the most authentic rock expression in its garage savagery. Who said that all is lost? Thanks to some fake school victims who must be recovering, the luckiest ones, in the nearest burn unit, we can hear good rock music again, so scarce these days.
