The Movin´ Circles – Chaotic Process (2012)



  • Chamber pop
  • Indie pop
  • Folk indie
  • Alternative pop
  • Indie folk
Comment: actually there is quite little to say about this 3-track issue coming out of Buenos Aires, Argentine. It is obviously inspired by sunshine and shangri-la, cute melodies and chords. At Sonia`s Letter (Sunset) are guitars, ukulele, and banjo seamlessly blended with suggestive keyboard whiffs in the background thereby resulting in to be the favourite track of mine. The other tracks provide more lo-fi and songwriter-alike approach adding more soulful facets and exemplary, a little bit cheesy singing manner to the soundscape, however, on the other side, losing its catchy dynamics and moving in circles gradually. Last but not least - the ditties are sung in English.

Asalto Al Parque Zoològico/Sugar Candy - Noise Sweet Noise EP (2010)



  • Shoegaze
  • Dream pop
  • Fuzz pop
  • Alternative pop
  • Post-punk
  • Psych-rock
  • Space rock

Comment: indeed, noise rock can sound truly sweet and mellow as proved The Jesus And Mary Chain, and especially My Bloody Valentine for some decades ago. A couple of Argentinian groups Sugar Candy and Asalto Al Parque Zoològico are obviously inspired by those aforementioned noise juggernauts, respectively. More profoundly, this split of 4 tracks reveals some astonishing moments regarding trippy shoegaze explorations (where noise meets sex meets space meets dreams) and heavily hiss-loaded yet exorcized post/punk/fuzz pop/psych-rock. The EP is issued under an Argentinian label, EPG Records. However, regarding South America-based shoegaze-related combos I recommend to listen to Inverness, and This Lonely Crowd either (both from Brazil).
