Comment: just before I started to listen to
this Brazil-based combo's music I had listened to the Smiths' second
issue
Meat Is Murder in f..king vinyl format (joke!), by many
considered as the band's most funky issue (the central composition
undoubtedly is
Barbarism Begins at Home). The change was not
the discontinuation, it was a natural succession from one album to
another though formally they are different but you can find much
common due to these dance-appealed appearances here and there. At
least it happened in my head. Formally it is an instance of post-rock
with the danceable bubblegum guitar and the tricky bass guitar and the
sustaining drums to showcase something different in the post-rock
scene. Of course, I should not be misunderstood - it is not a dance
pop in the definition of eurobeat and even post-disco. It may be the trio`s roots come out from the No Wave scene, Funkadelic/Parliament, Jimi Hendrix, Sly And The Family Stone instead. The
scaffolding of the album is bold, slightly rough but it builds up
slowly to reach its impressive climax. For me it is an unusual case
because those sophisticated math rock developments are imbued with
enchanting grooves and cheerful twists (for instance, listen to
Distraiidos Venceremos). At
Baiaro De Stoner one can be
a part of a high-spirited audible universe through those frantic and
exuberant overdrives on guitars. Yet there are up enough numbers
where one can perceive more oppressive elliptical patterns moving
from one side to another from the bottom to the top as an ominous
vapour. Undoubtedly such a clever and crafty combo must be
consecrated because of the structure of the tracks and intriguing and
profound guitar timbres and sounds. Let's just call it guitar-induced
alchemy for all our well-being. This outstanding issue is a part of the discography of the great
Brazilian imprint Sinewave.
