SEÑORAI

This Croatian band named Hesus Attor has been on the music scene for some years, gaining recognition and little by little being better-known inside and outside their country. In this 2011 they (fortunately) offered a new EP as a free-download, which makes things easier to the listeners, and helpful for the band since with it I believe they are reaching a higher amount of followers from different countries.

The name of the EP is "Señorai" and features four songs that together make a total time of 17 minutes. It kicks off with "Pardonian Clouds", which happens to be the shortest track here. It has some spacey feeling and a sense of tranquility that may please you. I like it, and I actually thought the following tracks would be like this, but I was wrong, so don't judge Hesus Attor by this first song.

"Señorai" has some kind of oriental flavor, the guitar work is nice and I like how the song progresses. What I don't really like are the vocals, with an odd and quirky sound and also in different languages. The last minute is heavier, aggressive and closer to the metal realm. Nothing to do with the opener track.

"Psyclick" is a weird but interesting track. The avant-garde label may be recognized here; it reminds me of Fantomas and Primus, strange combination, isn't it? And last but not least we have "Vox of Archibald" which reminds me once again to Primus. This song is crazy in every sense of the word, the vocals and the instrumentation are weird but cool, so you can enjoy it and have a crazy time.

Honestly, my favorite track was the first, the calm one, the only one that I would not name as a crazy track. The others are good and interesting, but not my cup of tea. Recommendable for those who like avant-garde and crazy stuff, I would not really recommend it for average prog fans. My final grade is two stars. However?

Enjoy it!
