It's been only a while since I wrote here about Cloud Anthems, Carlos Astorga's side project. He has to be a busy man because an album by his major enterprise, the Chilean Baikonur, has been released. The band made some serious noise back in 2013 with their debut entitled "¿Quién vigila al hombre cansado?" and now they come back only to prove their worth with "Nihil Per Saltum".
The mystery behind their success is the multitude of ideas they have for their instrumental compositions. The band's music is diverse and surprising, both when you think about unique sound of guitars (great dirt in "Prometeo") and about how they build their compositions. The former are often all about peaceful passages that in some moment go awry and are destructed in some way, as in "Petricor" where they are replaced with a beautiful piano sequence or in the generally outstanding single "Voight-Kampff" with its remarkably rhythmic and dominating drums and crushing, massive guitars.
Also the references are very likable, both when they aim for the ancient myths and the modern ones like Kasparov or AI (the Voight-Kampffa test is of course the test to assess humanity in "Blade Runner"). The whole thing is clearly one of the best post-rock albums of the year.
"Nihil Per Saltum" costs 5.99 USD.
