Well, and that instead of siblings, they’re brothers-in-law, so it all stays in the family too.<br /><br />Sure you already know “Quita Penas”, which we already included in our last mixtape, a simple yet catchy and direct tune, sitting on a rhythmical base made to hook you up since this EP starts.<br />Anger and rage made music, through a constant distortion from Rusell’s guitar and Felipe’s scintillating drums.<br />From here on this sound, this perfect blend of the Orrall’s energy, a Spits without synths and a lowered speed, and a true punk aura, fades.<br /><br />But this guys are here to play, and they show it in "Para Que Le Digo Que No Si Sí", much more melodic that its predecessor, coming closer to Dead Ghost’s rock, or our truly yearn Harlem, and from this point on, you’re spinning on reverb surf to never come back.<br />Compared with, for example, missing Davila 666, even keeping similarities such as language and this garage and lo-fi similar sound, the truth is that Ave Negra are less 'classic' (except for the voice, being extremely dirty and torn, follows an ancient pattern, as mythologized as that of the very own Los Saicos), starting with the structure of the songs themselves, and ending with the absence of bass and rhythm guitar. But it’s not that they are going to wind up losing with these comparisons.<br /><br />"Tatatata Yayaya" is a fucking ode to youth and being young, a softer and more pop version of our Royal Highness King Tuff, singing “No me hace feliz”, but happier than if they had hit two jackpots in a row.<br />On this very same line of garage rock with a sweet side (think about Jacuzzi Boys, maybe), “Gotitas”, with these outstanding rate changes, a bit gloomy but with a constant crescendo leading inevitably to ecstasy, is the perfect ending for this short but spectacular EP.<br /><br />Rarely do we find such different songs mingling this well (not like those wardrobe choices in our teen days) so, since pink is quite a teenager color, this could be the reason why Number4Door released this awesome “Sensaciones Juveniles” (Juvenile Sensations) in a pink, limited and numbered edition of 50 tapes.Fueenahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17292736369539427466noreply@blogger.com
