THE REVIEW

Compressed dilation and dilated compression. Sound abrasive that insinuates itself among velvety harmonies; catatonic soliloquies and psychotic screams between millimeter-precise hardcore and psychedelic fluidities. Heavy body and quick mind.

A quarter of vodka balances a gram of hashish. At the bar counter, I drink to forget and yet remember everything. Irritability and meditation; granite-like feedback with a tender heart and soft harmonies with a restless soul. Calculated improvisation and free composition.

Lubricated offbeats and heavy cadences. Excited imagination in burdensome movements; rational paranoias and lucid follies.

Meticulous carvings on rough bark. Epileptic ripples on elegant and polished soundscapes; the iron will of a drunkard and the mental disorders of a bourgeois. Rock surface and classical depth.

 "A 'lucid' chaos set within a seductive order, which if at first listen may leave you puzzled, over time reveals itself as a seducer."

 "A call for help and a Declaration of intent: 'Tropics and Meridians' amazes in the short term, seize its essence."
