Comment: just
discovered that the 4-notch outing was released exactly two years
ago. Behind the project are three men, more profoundly, Eric Es, Alex
Morales, and Keith Helt (I guess obviously the one and same person
who sends announcements and information about coming brand new
releases on Chicago-based imprint Pan Y Rosas Discos to your email
address if you are subscribed at the site). They play guitars, the
bass, the drums, and synths/electronic devices to produce a dizzy
rock embodiment with incisive angle toward knee-deep psychedelia, and
avant-garde/avant-rock. More detailedly, the combo employ many
electronic manipulations and sampled spoken word cuts to create both
disorienting and somehow lofty feeling as if tearing off the
conventional social borders around them. They set themselves and the
listeners free. All what we want to be is to be free.
Scarf Of
Hair is a stoned mix of speed metal and psychobilly. Lemmy would
have been proud of it. One of the compositions,
We Ooze In All
Directions, can temporally be considered the central composition
because it will have clocked at a 20 minute. However, musically it is
an analogous yet exalting case. I like the trio's approach by
crafting rehearsal room tinged raw sound (all that massively tectonic
romp at the bottom and keyboard skronking atop). The mentioned track
reminds of some anti-establishment bound rock compositions like
Velvet Underground's
Sister Ray, and Faust's
Krautrock.
It is followed by the self-titled track based on an electronically,
filter-heavy and debris filled storytelling and the whole track as a
disturbed composition in overall as if driven by a convulsive
interplay between the closed and opened stereophonic channels. In a
word, it is a truly overcoming, truly cutting-edge release even in
terms of the era of postmodernism. What else could I add? The rest of
the albums by Los Pilotos the listener could get from within the site of Pan Y Rosas Discos (and Free Music
Archive) should also be listened to.
