Melange - Viento Bravo (Beyond Beyond is Beyond Records, November 17, 2017)
Beyond Beyond Is Beyond Records never releases ordinary records. On the contrary. It is truly worth listening to each of their releases with great interest and acquiring them blind, as the outcome will always be excellent. Among the now countless neo-psychedelic bands in the old continent, this Spanish group (a quintet comprised of Adrian and Sergio Ceballos, Daniel Fernandez, Miguel Roson, and Mario Zamora) stands out particularly for its sound and the great variety and quality of the proposed sounds. Formed in Madrid in 2014, "Viento Bravo" is the second album by Melange: to label it neo-psychedelic might evoke a certain type of music that has become massively widespread in Europe, making it somewhat of a misleading indication. The quintet actually branches out into a sound that I would describe as truly very distinctive. They could certainly remind one of a certain King Gizzard histrionics, with moments of fusion ("Splendor Solis"), tropicalism ("Cotard"), even flamenco and bolero ("Oxi," "Siempre Avanti"), Morricone-esque visions ("Ruinas"), while clearly dominating a vintage inspiration that is enhanced with progressive timings and typical use of keyboards. Truly an incredible little record, I had it set aside for a long time; not listening to it would have been blasphemous.
