Linda Guilala - Estado natural (2019) EN

Linda Guilala come from the Galician city of Vigo at the end of Spain, right at the Ocean. Beautiful place and beautiful music because the trio make some very moody dream pop. Estado natural is a single or a short EP which is the band's favourite publishing format.

The most important track here is the title track Estadio natural in two versions, "radio" and extended one. They are both utterly catchy making it impossible not to hum the chorus while listening to it. The impressiveness of the song is only greater thanks to the involving and smooth background made on synthesizer and airy, but not too airy, vocals by Eva Maria López Castro. And it's not different in Espacio de Tiempo, you can clearly see that the Galicians have no problems at all with writing catchy dream pop music. Waiting impatiently for more singles/EPs/whatever you call it.

Estado natural costs 4 GBP.

cintaadhesiva - FRONTEIRA PARAISO (2019) EN

Cintaadhesiva is a multimedia project the core of which is to put together poetry, music and visual arts. From the lyrics perspective led by Silvia Penas, from the music one by Jesús Andrés Tejada, the Spanish (Galician) collective does a lot so everybody could appreciate Iberian poetry without the knowledge of the language. Check it out on the January album FRONTEIRA PARAISO.

If anybody's tempted to depict the album to be recited text accompanied by music, the artists had prepared a reply for this: "It is an organic whole where text, music and video are not accompanied, but rather try to merge and confuse". The test doesn't function without the musi and the music without the text. That makes it especially sad that in order to fully appreciate the project's work one would have to speak Galician (even Spanish is not enough). On the other hand though, the poignant voice of Xabi Xil Xardón can be easily treated and appreciated as another kind of instrument.

And there are many of them. Cintaadhesiva inspires awe with the diversity of the music that sounds like one of the best soundtracks to an eerie spectacle. On one hand we have electric guitars, on the other the orchestral section, and they sometimes are more epic and sometimes more swinging (Lume). But always entirely unique.

FRONTEIRA PARAISO is free.
