LA RECENSIONE
De Facto is the project that bridges At The Drive In and Mars Volta, it is the stealthy step that leads Omar and Cedric to find less conventional sounds compared to the past and to cultivate ideas for the imminent future.
In this short-duration album, they offer a primarily instrumental dub, with a Latin flavor, where each song has the same structure: Omar creates a repetitive, convulsive bass line, and Cedric's drumming carries South American rhythms; Jeremy Ward adds effects with the keyboards and imprints brief touches of piano where the atmospheres become deeper and darker.
These are short chapters of a brief experimental cycle, featuring the pure "Coaxial" and "Madagascar," besides "Thick Vinyl Plate" in which the melodica seems to emit moans and the Cuban "Radio Rebelde"; while the spacey "Nux Vomica" introduces "Coaxialreturn," a whistling and slowed ambient piece.
Fight for dub.
