alternative rock / instrumental
El día de los fuegos is an album released on August 25 by Argentinian instrumental alternative rock group Ríoseco. Almost forty two minutes long, the album has seven tracks: Detrás del cauce, muere, Pestus eram vivus, La última ola, Todos mis manuscritos, Morens tua mors erro, ¿Por qué te dejaste asesinar escuchando cuentos de álamos nevados? and the title track, El día de los fuegos. A very interesting, sagacious and genuine journey through a more authorial, expressive and rustic style of alternative rock, El día de los fuegos is a very vibrating, eclectic, creative and colorful record, that synthesizes on the wider range of its curious and vivacious melodies the expansive ordeal of a sound that impressively celebrates the axiom of its concentrated synergy in the beauty of increasingly energetic harmonies, that extrapolates the cataclysm of its own organic flexibility in the vicinities of a larger and elongated musical vibration. With a precise set of rhythms that deflagrates the paroxysm of a postulated creativity that easily flirts with a well-devised chain of experimentalism, Ríoseco is a very meticulous band, that expands on the spontaneity of a marvelous art the consolidation of an elaborated technique, easy to verify by the high standards upon which they’ve created their music.
An instrumental album that displays the verified nuances of a symmetry perfectly aligned to the dispersive atmosphere of their paradoxically highly concentrated sound – that sometimes seems to discreetly flirt with blues and psychedelic rock –, melodies are traced in a single conjuncture, upon which becomes easy to compress its elements in a synchronicity where time and space elevates the uncertainty of its own tempestuous musical sphere in a mostly chaotic anatomy, since everything adjusts to the ongoing harmony gradually and naturally, in a purely calculated effort, that seems to be simultaneously accidental, as well as thoroughly planned.
With an impeccable technique, and a formidable style upon which they deliver their music, Ríoseco undoubtedly is one of the greatest Argentinian bands active in their home country’s underground scene today, and El día de los fuegos certainly is one of the best instrumental albums that I have heard recently. With an expressively graceful sonorous style, able to encompass a wider array of musical perceptions, their instrumental perspicacity is above any possible measurements. They know how to create a fascinating musical journey, since El día de los fuegos can certainly be classified as a majestic monument of colorful and surreal dream-like exploratory soundscapes of ambivalent rapture, that fill the mind of the listener with the inspiratory mosaic of an everlasting day of graceful happiness and satisfaction.
Although their sound can appear to be repetitive or redundant at times, this mainly occurs as a natural consequence of their characteristic style, which is too exceedingly vast, but, at the same time, concentrated and imperative. Nevertheless, El día de los fuegos is a terrific and wonderful album; I think no enthusiast of alternative rock should dare not listening to this amazing work of art.
