Comment: Captan, obvio is a sextet from Caracas, Venezuela whose album of 9 short-running tracks is an amalgamation of cutting edge-y tendencies mixed up with a loads of branches of traditional pop music (country, indie, jazz, a capella, Latin motives) which is full of tricky turns and roundabouts, psyched-out punk occurrences, off-kilter ska bounces which in turn are covered with compelling emotions and sensations. Most pieces are chanted and sung in Spanish. Amor de Mèdico, and A Mi No Me Mean La Cama are killers by any means. By kindred souls there can be drawn parallels upon such frantic groups as Messer Für Frau Müller, and Man...Or Astroman.
