Comment: it is a quite peculiar feel to go back in time with purpose to review an issue you have not listened to it before. For instance, this 8-track composition was initially released in 2008 and though you have not experienced it before it somehow brings forth painful memories from the past. In fact, it reminds me of those lucky times you had been experiencing then which are ceased to exist today. In a word, it reminds me of the fragility of life and that all used to change permanently around us. The nature of the album is doleful and longing and it is the obvious reason of my complaint. The effect and consequence of it is one has to go on with his/her life to be able to reflect upon the recent time as a lucky span of time. It is always very glad to watch back in time when grass was more green and sky was cloudless. The artist comes out of Argentina and this album is a fabulous shift between epic post-rock, lysergic indie electronic and enchanting drone pop/organcore. Because of providing picturesque, slightly orchestrated and emotionally evocative chords it is a fairly proper issue to depict and convey the nature of autumn. Behind that one man project is Julio Yicarean, the talented man whose (obviously debut) album was released under such a great yet still underrated imprint, Gorriòn De Miga. Gem by any standards.

Comment: this handful of compositions is a fine listening session because it chimes like a soundtrack for the wind blowing over the empty fields. Indeed, it is precise because it feeds one`s imagination about a cold winter, secondly it is crafted in the manner to masterfully accentuate a certain range of sonic odds and ends and thereof exquisitely arouse one`s emotive centres in heart and mind. By the way, at Archive.org it is tagged as dark ambient, and polar ambient in a poignant way. On the other side, it searches for connection either with the deceased world or the world of the deaths or for connection with both of them. It could deliberately be imagined as an accompaniment to documentary motion pictures depicting catacombs and graveyards. Yet, In a word, listen to it and be ready to participate in a lonely and desolate world. Additionally, by listening to these long compositions one can imagine the abduction of Persephone by Hades and the follow-up to it – when Persephone leaves the Earth to go down to the underworld to her husband and then a great part of the nature either will be deceased or freezed for a long time. However, sometime all will be born again. There is up hope, there is the expectation for a better life. Undoubtedly it is a purging experience. The issue is a mote in the discography of Gorrion de Miga.
