My Review: Hoffen - La noche de la tempestad

 Hoffen - La noche de la tempestad 

Eight years after the start of his artistic project called HOFFEN, Dalí Lantzeta gives us a new gem, a dark mixture that lights up our heads with a thousand thoughts, disconnected and conditioned by pleas and prayers that come from the heart of the night, in a darkwave rush that suspends all desire for light. Because in this zone it feels good, we feel protected by the almost heartbreaking singing, a pelvic jolt that rises from the belly to reach our restless breaths.

In these four precise minutes, the instruments plan a strategic entry, to channel our listening towards a peace coloured by darkness.

Where the bass and guitar play centre stage, but the rhythm eventually plays its part well to give the track the status of a perfect example of how these musical genres, although, perhaps, hindered by a cumbersome past and by the few possibilities of being able to develop further, in the end still know how to give so many emotions.

Viva Mexico, viva Goth, siempre!
