Comment: Ataque Escampe did have released their first releases on the imprint A Regueifa Plataforma which had been an outlet for musicians singing in Galician, a local language in Spain having at least as much similarity to Portuguese as to Spanish/Castilian. As much as I have understood A vida dos Animais is their last issue embracing so far unpublished, demo and compilations-related tracks from the years 2012-2018. Musically it is as transgressive as they are linguistically (they sing in English as well). Lots of experiments within the genre of indie/alt-folk with melodies, timbres and harmonies. Fortunately all these experiments are finely balanced with the acceptance of beauty oozing out from these chords. By their attitude they remind of Wilco by incorporating many elements into the embodiment of folk music. For example, at excellent Evita one can immerse in an enchanting noise pop/folk crossover. Lots of electricity, sweat and desire could you find out from there. Maycar is a nice cover of a classic Motown track. Musica Veliz is as cinematic as it is thoroughly dreamy. It is a fine example of how to create and convey a mood. Undoubtedly a combo which deserves more attention.

Comment: with regard to the title and first of all to the nature of music it is a very unusual case of folk music. It is like an example of folk music which were a more conventional case if European nations would have rejected Christianity and gotten overwhelming power from their gentile roots. Like their mighty precursors Vikings and Celtic tribes having power to fight like berserks and having much in common with Nature which is a true face of God. Christianity is a bloody occult of the guilt. The more you are the so-called civilised the more you think of yourself to be sophisticated the more you used to be more declined and rotten in reality. This bunch of 7 tracks is something getting its frenzied power from the remote past. Of course, any kind of life used to provide some sort of interruptions and disturbed visions yet the main course of this thing is right. Additionally to neofolk and dark folk threads one gets impressed by lo-fi approach and free form psychedelic folk numbers a la Sun City Girls. Old Norse Mara was the artist's debut outing released on Sirona-Records, and Chaos Of The Stars.

Comment: there is no foreplay into the core of this 13-notch issue being released live at WFMU. Post-hardcore, screamo and noise rock influenced intense noodling based on angular guitars, screeching vocals, blasts of the drumming and discordant synth tweaks to present all that stuff in a repetitively overcoming manner. All of that reminds me of a resurrection of the No Wave movement a bit more than 10 years ago through such projects as Black Dice, Lightning Bolt, Black Pus, USAISAMONSTER, Hella. One can hear more clear moments varied by horrified flashbacks and decays of the mind. All but not least I am happy Free Music Archive and much amazing music got saved by another yet different platform.

Comment: exactly 10 years ago on 24th of January 2009 I started with Recent Music Heroes by commenting on the Swedish artist leafes` In The Mountains Belly (Redstarcommunity). It has been a wonderful time and sort of music which has been produced by Miguel A. García aka Xedh has been one of the main fares over there. Both by its concept and music threads it is something very suitable to my personal preferences. It is a sublime shadow play between silence and noise, between caressing and powerful propulsion, however, having always had an ominous posture and enchanting tension within the sound due to building up slowly by using dodges into illbient and glitched-out music. It embodies me the nature of our life on Earth that all used to change, all used to disappear, all used to die, and then, all used to born again. During the aforementioned span of 10 years the innumerable bunch of people has passed away, a lot of arts has been created, a lot of shit has been produced, a lot of imprints has been disappeared and born again. This mind-blowing 3-track issue is a part of the discography of Polish imprint Far From Showbiz.
