DESCRIPTION:
"Conservad el Rayo", Coconot
BCore Disc, Spain
From the album: Cosa Astral

One could only describe "Conservad el rayo" as a neopsychedelic piece that is heavy on percussions. The intro recalls the shutdown of a mechanical subject, perhaps a car, perhaps the heart? Once the harmonies are ready to appear the downward sound serves as a base utilized throughout the entire song. Coconot sounds less like El Guincho a lot more like Animal Collective, there is less sampling technique and a lot more instrumentation which immediately make this album much more tribal. Jens Neumaier and Subira show plenty of revelation; they particularly adjoin their understanding of alteration as opposed to the repetition we heard in Alegranza!. Listen carefully to Miles de Ojos and notice the vividness in its production, the much improvised quietness in Polen Muchaha! and how it twists back an ford between the colorful harmonies and the hard and shadowy mood.
