Ocelote Rojo - Pacarina (2011)



/Psych-folk, Avant-folk, Drone folk, Experimental folk/

Comment: Behind Ocelote Rojo is Francisco Aravena who has managed to sail on this 4-track EP with the help of tenderly fingerpicked and strummed guitars, hypnotic drone, mystically chiming gongs as if sounding from a remote distance and being surrounded by a sort of mystical vapour and found sounds. However, sometimes it seems to have acquired a profound ritualistic disposition, the other time just cutting down its brooding consistency and getting more lighter. First of all, it is a contemplative trip into yourself. The coverprint is grandeur as well.
