Comment:
I guess it had happened approximately 6-7 years ago when I was
listening to Xarope's sound quite frequently. Later on, the artist
would be lost on my radar unfortunately. It is even more surprising
because the artist's free range aesthetic and artsy approach is
fairly appealing. For example, listen to this 13-notch of psychedelic
music, melodica based improvisations, uncanny and rough chants which
are studded with some concrete music slots and frantic drumming here
and there to afford you an entry into a purgatorial DIY world.
Recently the most of pop music is lead by totally controlled beats of
digital kind and vocoder-drenched vocals so I do not have any idea is
the result of this sort of music actually good or a little inferior
on its own. At least it is obviously common and mostly derivative and
unoriginal. So yeah, listen to Xarope's music as a counterpoint to
it. It redeems you for sure. It is something being produced by a
forest Jesus. By listening to the first composition Ethanol it is
something truly stoned and jackass, it broadens one's perception and
diminishes his/her burden of stress. It is absolutely free and
freeing through his shouts and shrieking. He is accompanied by 11
musicians and a bunch of more and less conventional instruments
(horns, flutes, didgeridoos, darbuka, djambe, low fi untuned crappy
sounding viola, double bass, tuba). In a nutshell, take care of you
through this issue (a part of the discography XS Records).
