Maiguai – Maria
Have you noticed how the more alternative electro-pop offerings have been losing their sonic innocence? Have you realized how they've acquired a heavier, denser sound that increasingly distances itself from the naive notion that fusion shouldn't contain daring, seductive, or risky elements? Maiguai, a Colombian duo that blends rock, electronica, and Caribbean sounds, has decided to insist on using a cluster of low-range frequencies to the delight of its less conventional fans And, in turn, by combining playful and psychedelic images and drawings, they present a clip that breaks with conventional norms, avoiding outdated and traditionalist concepts. In short, Maiguai confirms that their work is part of a new vision of the region's folklore, ready to conquer a new audience around the world.
Girl X – Curve
Another rising duo. Nena X, from Buenos Aires, continues to release new singles, and this time they bring us a homemade video with immediately captivating strobe effects, where the intensity builds from the first to the last second of the production. The song, with its finely crafted rock sound, never loses the original edge that is an essential part of the band. Their songs are ready to be digested by the unsuspecting audience, but at the same time, As they are consumed, the listener absorbs an unforgettable cyanide that penetrates and satisfies the listener with each hearing, creating a happy addiction. For that reason, we can bet that their upcoming album will be one of the most interesting records of the year. Get ready.
DeerMx – Wailing Wood
On the other side of the world, amidst a turmoil that brings increasingly dire predictions, lives a Mexican duo who have been keeping us updated on their music and news for several years now. They, DeerMX, have a growing audience in the Far East, and a following that spans from Taiwan to Hong Kong (and surrounding areas) attentively listens to their industrial and aggressive recordings. As they develop their promotional campaigns, they release striking videos that perfectly illustrate the aesthetic of their music. This time they showcase an animation work of textures of exhilarating electrical magnitudes, perfectly compatible with the noise of their machines. No matter how far away they are from Latin America at the moment, this is one of the most interesting projects we can hear about these days on our continent.
Francisco Gana – I no longer need yesterday.
We'll end today's post with something relaxing, something to give our eyes a rest after the explosion of colors we just experienced. Let's finish with a great video made with the limited resources the pandemic sometimes leaves us with., where sometimes all you need is a camera, a comfortable location and a desire to have fun without breaking the dishes at home. In this case, this Chilean singer-songwriter climbed onto a rooftop, took advantage of the pleasant weather, and posed for the camera to create a visual accompaniment to a simple tune, perfect for enjoying on any of these afternoons with a beer in hand, thinking that things can always get better, even amidst the current gloom. It won't revolutionize music videos, but it works, and that's what matters.
