Mequetrefe - Gobi (2012)



/Shoegaze, Crossover, Indie dance, Alternative rock, Dance rock, Psychedelic rock, Space rock, Post-rock/

Comment: Mequetrefe, the Spanish-based quintet had released an excellent album called Play Off in 2010 which crossed shoegaze-ish guitar washes with post-rock and space rock shades. This time all these tendencies are still represented there, yet, being coalesced with catchy dance-appealed propulsions and hypnotic, electronically tinged oscillations. All these elements are wrapped up in the 10-minute composition, called Kill All The Indies (indeed, similarly to Primal Scream`s Kill All The Hippies). Moreover, if to trying to compare it with someone else, however, it reminds a little bit of Sereena Maneesh`s self-titled debut album (2005).
