Comment:
I guess my first meeting with Ataque Escampe happened about
6-7 years ago through A
Regueifa Plataforma,
an imprint of which purpose was to issue disparate kind of music
coming out of from the autonomous region of Galicia, Spain.
Unfortunately the site has
been down for a while. I dislike such sort of reckless attitude
because you are being responsible for so many artists and it could be
understood in the case you are having your own site but if a site is
based on blogger than I can see no excuses. Furthermore, you could
upload a roster’s music at Archive.org as well. It could be said
about many imprints as well. All of that is fairly regrettable to
see the past to have ruined in front of us. Fortunately many artists
on the imprint have moved to Bandcamp, including Ataque Escampe.
Ataque Escampe is a quintet
from Santiago De
Compostela, who has been together since 2001 and been releasing a
swarm of issues throughout the last ten years. In
the recent issue there are up a couple of new compositions. It is
sympathetic of how they used to create the buildup of their music by
doing it though lite indie folk numbers, which usually in the ending
parts is chased by Roi Vidal played acid synthesizers
and electronics. For instance, Papá
borracho does end with a
game boy-alike chip. Alan
Lomax is set up in the
way to meet at an interface of folk, psychedelia, rap, and
alternative pop. However, blending of the styles (the formal side of
songwriting) is not a goal on its own but the combo is adept in
executing it seamlessly and convincingly to boost the main narrative.
In a nutshell, the result is highly hilarious.
