I must confess something: I used to like the music of the Colombian group Danicattack I was confused. I wasn't sure if I liked it or not. At times I noticed details that seemed corny, cloying, exaggerated. I listened to the songs with apprehension, as if searching for a flaw in the note, or, as Argentinians say, a hair in the egg. It's happened to all of us. that some of the albums or groups we're faced with reach us at the wrong times And that's why we think we won't like them. Realizing that the problem lies with you and not the singer can take some time.
The band led by Daniel López, that character you'll see made up and trying to seduce the city from the window, is one of the most solid-sounding groups in Colombia, and their flirtation with that old rock and roll from the times of Charly García and Fito Páez mixed with that intrinsic pain conveyed by all his compositions, It puts them on one of those podiums where people who listen to them can either love them or hate them. And the truth is, everyone is right, and Daniel and his entourage couldn't care less. Danicattack focuses on creating layers upon layers of sound that elegantly fill every room their songs enter, gently injecting, almost imperceptibly, each listener's skin. Sometimes these tunes arrive at the worst times for our troubled spirits, and that's why we inappropriately reject them. But, with relief, I say, listen 4:23 (Fly far away, fly slow) these days It brings its own healing.
The video, Made by Tana Vallejo (The Tenacious One), ...parts of the images were provided by the band itself. You and I know that in most cases when this happens, the result is a messy album of clumsily compiled images in an effort to convey some kind of emotion. In this particular project... Everything has a logic and a love expressed in the editing, To this are added images of López himself defying the city with his piano, completing the candor sought after and achieved countless times. It's a beautiful clip that conveys affection, candor, and maturity from the artists. This is a brilliant graphic work for a hymn that soothes our ears.
