My Review: Old Providence - La illusíon del ser

Old Providence - La illusíon del ser

We are in Colombia, on the rails of a train, with this quartet, shooting hail and loneliness, compactly, like a nightmare that, starting from the bass, together with guitar and drums, leads us to the station of the Deathrock country, with Darkwave citizens on military leave. A majestically suffocating grating makes sound the foundation of a molecular structure that escapes, like the protagonist of the lyrics, and wanders through the decades with shortness of breath. Everything is circumscribed to a necessary heaviness, oppressive, but offering possibilities for reflection, with the final chant that sticks in the mind: even sadness can be a reason for a good trip...
