To return to the routine of music, amidst uncertainty and political disappointment, Good quality material had to arrive. Something fun that would bring us back to music journalism and allow us to celebrate the great art from this part of the world once again. And that's why we can say that the new video from the Chilean duo has arrived just in time. Perrosky called I don't sing anymore.
Perhaps we are facing one of the lowest budget clips of the year, of the decade and surely of history. Watch out, cheap does not mean anything negative. Despite its low-budget absurdity, Perrosky's animation is remarkably appealing in its simplicity and irony. A board, chalk, some puppets that stand in for the Gómez brothers, the protagonists of this unique adventure, and a few other toys are all used to tell a story where..., The music doesn't stop playing until the credits finish. Perrosky has never used many elements to create his art, to bring his songs to life, and it's clear that this philosophy also applies to the way he promotes his work visually. Here, with I don't sing anymore, They reached extreme minimalism and they are equally surprising and attention-grabbing.
We had said it since the first week of April, when it came out Dog Sky, his latest album, which Perrosky had released one of the best productions of the year. We had stated that the final result of this work had effortlessly seeped into our blood and filled us with magic, without any grand displays of fireworks or excessive fanfare. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that they, the very same Gomez brothers (Álvaro and Alejandro), the owners of Algo Records, one of the most innovative labels of recent years on the continent, They are the best blues rock duo of recent times in this hemisphere. That's right. The irony is that they do it in a... It's such a simple way that it's enviable and many can't believe it.
