A sonic journey immersed in rhythms and guitars adorning sonic beats full of collaborations makes The Bugs an EP with the power to make you smile.
Coconut Hand, Sergio González's Colombian project is characterized by singing about love, in all possible ways: in the form of a ballad, folk music, a game, and even electronic meditation. Behind all that compendium of ideas of unity and attraction, some powerful inserts of political and social voices emerge; I especially focused on Take my hand, The first cut of this story, in a single sentence: “We’re going to keep working.” That kind of quote, versus the immersive atmosphere of his tracks, They solidify an idea that easily reaches the ear and encourages singing, or at least to be hummed. This game, not only grammatical but also rhythmic, is based on five sonic moments that make up the discography of Gonzalez and company. Then those five moments unfold. and flowers, hearts, atmospheres and stories of "wanting" appear“ between galaxies and lights that flow in harmony from beginning to end.
Aside from the constant optimism in the love story told in this EP, its simplicity in terms of sound is worth highlighting. and the pretext of creating and producing songs together -appearing on the EP are Julián Valdivieso, Julián Cardona and Shikiman in the co-production- and reproduce them through an electroacoustic instrumentation full of rhythmic and melodic amalgams.
