TETRAMORPHOS

What you will find here are 19 minutes of instrumental music with both a delicate and explosive sound, with the always present emotional touch of post-rock.

It opens with 'El conejo y el jardín', a captivating track since the very first seconds. Some math-rock strings and a beautiful keyboard as background open the gates for a 6-minute journey that is very visual, it is easy to put some images in one's mind while listening to it. After two minutes the song becomes more intense, faster, like a vertiginous passage that is being surrounded by a diversity of sounds and textures. Love the guitar solo after minute 3, and really love the keyboard work, it produces a lot of emotions, lot of nuances.

'La Luna y yo' is a very emotional track, its first seconds sound more in the vein of post-rock, while later with the heaviness they blend it with the math-rock side, and I love it! The music flows and then before reaching the second minute they make a challenging change in tempo, which might get you unbalanced at first, but when you listen to it again, you'll catch it. A guitar riff comes later; heavy drums and loads of energy are placed in the last couple of minutes.

'Emboscada para flamencos' has a more metal-ish feeling since the drums' first beats; then it develops its rhythm and structure, using all of their elements available to create a new adventurous passage. I like the heaviness of their strings, and the cadence of their keyboards. This heaviness can also be appreciated by a powerful bass sound that enters in the last minute, but wait, then they decided to put a kind of robotic feeling in the end, creating a completely different atmosphere. Challenging and great.

Last but not least is 'El mar en tus ojos', which starts with addictive math-rock strings that are later joined by heavy drums and keys. I like that while the song is being developed, they show several elements already shown in the EP, like that robotic/futuristic sound, and they blend of both match and post-rock feeling. It is a powerful way to end this release, in spite of its calm passage where bass lines stand out to my ears.

My favorite is track 1, but I like this EP equally. Important to say that the CD version comes with literary texts by keyboard player Pais Villagrana, texts that nicely complement the tracks, so if you can, grab a copy of it.

Looking forward to their upcoming full-length album.

Enjoy it!
