The story of the Colombian band is curious. Six PedestriansThis alternative blues rock group, made up of talented musicians, stands out in the local scene with songs that are hits on the radio, such as With the hands, for better or for worse y The Devil's Fall, They dominate the audience charts, they perform concerts throughout Latin America And then, suddenly, he falls silent and goes into his cave for three years., as if nothing had happened. And then, discreetly, he returns to the studio, records 7 tracks, and resurfaces to show signs of life., reclaiming their place on the continental stage.
Note that Six Pedestrians isn't making a triumphant return, nor is it kicking ass. It's doing so cautiously., presenting a single song from their new repertoire. That said, it's a very good song, with a name that's fitting for the occasion: Comes back.
Comes back It's a composition that starts slowly, taking its time, like someone who pretends not to be noticed until the explosion comes right on top of us. The voice enters complaining, as if there were a pain in its soul. It misleads us, making us believe there is weakness in it., But then… boom! You can feel the scream, the despair, the powerful distortion, which creates an unexpected atmosphere of ecstasy and irrevocably traps the listener.
Recorded at Árbol Naranja studios and mixed in Los Angeles by Mateo Camargo, Seis Peatones' album has an intriguing opening that compels fans to remember their name and trust in their artistry once more. It's not the time to ask them what happened during all this time of disappearance and silence. Rather, it's time to believe that this band still has much to say and plenty of concerts left to play. Comes back That's a good sign of it.
