psychedelic / stoner rock
Más Alto que el Sol is a formidable and incredibly sensational album by Uruguayan stoner rock group Color Horror. Thirty nine minutes long, the album has nine tracks: Better Run, Burning Trees, Little Secret, No Vamos a ir, Ningún Lugar, Más Alto que el Sol, Fire & Bones, You got some nerves and Luces Negras. While maintaining the conventional sonorous dynamic of the genre, Color Horror has a more volatile and idyllic style, that concentrates in the synergy of its proverbial nature a delusive and electric propensity towards a very original and creative ordeal, that hallucinates its sonorous demand over an ambivalent and intricate reality, condensed in the prism of southern rock, but permanently juxtaposed under the realms of a profoundly psychedelic vibe. The final result couldn’t have been more brilliant: a true stoner rock sound, easily reinvigorated over the astuteness of a formidable audacity that ably reconciles the traditional aspects of the genre with original ones.
With songs shorter than usual for the genre, Más Alto que el Sol is probably the greatest and mostly fundamental musical attestation of creativity ever testified in the genre. Although the first two tracks – namely, Better Run and Burning Trees – probably condenses better the essence and the descriptive qualities of Color Horror’s music, the entire album is the literal consecration of a profound innovation brilliantly inserted into the genre without deforming it. On the contrary, it widely accepts and expands its sonorous possibilities into an ever increasing gradual pyramid of elevated rapture.
Singing in English as well as their native Spanish, Color Horror demonstrates the genuine impulses that drives their music all the way through, throughout the album. A marvelous state of the art work, a true and vehemently whimsical masterpiece, Más Alto que el Sol deserves all compliments for its sensational, genuine and unparalleled level of originality. With a strength that easily modifies the music to insert the listener into a whole new level of wonderful perceptions, this record is destined to become a huge reference in the genre, for the underground scene.
With a great and sensational energy that respects, but at the same time formidably aggregates a whole new set of qualities into the genre, Color Horror shows on this great album Más Alto que el Sol why they deserve to have a long and fruitful career: because they’ve created an entirely new genre from an existing one. And what a marvelous work this album has revealed itself to be!
