It's exciting how a bolero and rock and roll duo from Chile has been able to understand misfortune and sadness almost as if following step by step the manual of the Spanish playwright Federico García Lorca. They, The Big Rage, That is to say, Sebastian Orellana and Iván Molina, as their artistic career evolves, have managed to consolidate an effective sonic combination of unbridled energy and seduction, not without a tragedy that seems to have been narrated by the poet from Granada. We had previously described the work of these Australians as if it were part of the soundtrack of a film noir, but on this occasion, with their new single, My commitment, have been encouraged to a staging that seems taken from the dark works of Spanish theater prior to the civil war, where the sorrows were excessively religious and intimate.
My commitment, first single and preview of what will be her new album, Black Wedding, It sounds like a constant scratching on the skin, With the slow tempo of a perfect sadomasochistic act, which, without losing that essence of tight, suffering dance that has always shone in the group, has that sensual creaking sound that can be observed in any second before death. A Hammond keyboard is beautifully added to all of this., masterfully performed by Julian Maeso, who brings an irresistible tension that exquisitely completes the package.
The video's staging, directed by Joaquin Aneri, is impeccable. The idea of presenting a kind of short-moving scenarios that are woven together as the song progresses, It's captivating from the very first moment. The choice of location is ideal, and the art direction perfectly matches what's required. What you see has a very close feel to the representation of... The House of Bernarda Alba. We insist, Lorca would surely have felt honored by this clip.
While waiting for the new album, which will be released soon, My commitment It establishes an interesting yardstick for Big Rage, one of the best musical offerings of the moment in Latin America.
