Every day we hear a new good song is a day that It deserves to be appreciated, celebrated, and lived with enthusiasm. Unfortunately, not every day is like that. It's not every day that a new band appears and presents us with something new. a material worthy of being repeated ad nauseam. We hope for songs whose melodies will flow through our veins and give us a new impetus despite difficult times., despite bearing the human curse on our shoulders. That's not always the case. That's why, when we receive songs like those presented by the Argentinian group City of Willows In their simple preview of what will be their first album, we feed on that small delight and listen to the recordings as if there were no end to our lives.
City of Willows It is a quintet from the city of La Plata They've made two songs available to fans, offering a glimpse of what their album will be like. They present us with... Travelers y Light, Two brilliant creations with infectious melodies and a delightfully poisonous instrumental construction. The production of these tracks emphasizes the clear presence of each element used in their creation., performing a clever mixing job, where the keyboards stand out prominently and where the voice, which brings with it lyrics of unusual poetry, has its finely highlighted place. We could label the result within the margins of pop rock., But that's equating it to less valuable work. What we hear here is a window of pleasure into what can be an entire landscape of exquisite contemporary music.
City of Willows, that's clear, It surprised and pleased us. From this first presentation of their work, they have shown us that they know the paths to creating good songs without being surrounded by unnecessary surprises. Hopefully they will continue down this path and we can talk more about them very soon.
