Snow In Mexico - Prodigal Summer EP (2015) EN


There’s a certain rule of the offstream music I want to share with you at the beginning of this post - namely, if there’s a geographical name in a band’s name, the band is most certainly (almost) NOT from the city/country/region mentioned. Architecture of Helsinki is from Australia, We Are From Barcelona from Sweden, Murmansk comes from Helsinki of Finland, Lost In Kiev from Paris of France, Krakovia is Spanish and Icelandic Elephants Russian. There are a couple of exceptions (hmm… Joensuu 1685, Gas Of Latvia, our Polish Myslovitz) but the trend is noticeable and quite astonishing. We all dream of other places. There’s hardly any point in adding that Snow In Mexico is not from Mexico actually. They are from The Eternal City or, as sometimes called, “the Suburbs of the Vatican City” (via The Young Pope). But they’re worth mentioning at the end of the Mexican Week.

Indeed, delicate vocals and dense but also very slow music remind of this prodigal summer when you wanted to do so many things but ended up lying on grass and looking up at the sky and you figured that this is the thing that makes you feel good. This is the music for those tiny glimpses of the sunny being lazy in the greyness of today’s November. Is this the trace of Mexico in our everyday autumn life? Don’t those warm moments in comparison to the mood and weather of this season sound extremely nonsensically, just like this snow in Mexico? Yes, those things are probably true but I find it difficult to focus on them as I’m listening to SIM.

“Prodigal Summer” costs only 4$, not a bad price for a glimpse of summer.
