Pumuky - El bosque en llamas
Hier mal ein Geheimtipp aus Spanien Madrid. Die Gruppe Pumuky. Sie spielen eine mischung aus Pop, Alternative und Elektronik. Erinnert manchmal etwas an Archive nur auf spanisch.
Hier noch etwas infos aus dem Netz. Allerdings auf Englisch:
Drums roll (like in the first song of the album) to announce the release of PUMUKY’s new album, titled "El bosque en llamas". A great work full of wonderful musical corners (some of them secret), of this band from Barcelona, led by Tenerife-born Jaír Ramírez. Pumuky’s second album opens the door to a very personal lyrical and musical universe that he has built after the years. Very unusual melodies and moods make this record particularly distinctive, avoiding easy descriptions like a furtive hunter – we see a similitude, though, with the strange shadows of MIGALA, LAMBCHOP’s bittersweet acoustic tunes and PATRICK WOLFat his most organic. Plus violent electric discharges reminiscent of MOGWAI and a melancholy very close to ELUVIUM, but always in a Pop context. “El bosque en llamas” is made up of 10 songs which show more than ever the variety of registers that PUMUKY is capable of. The album features songs full of energy burstings, like “Tu marca”, followed by mellow melancholic pieces such as "Si desaparezco" or "El Hombre Bosque en llamas". Wild guitars, moving walls of keyboards and punchy beats (often played by two simultaneous drummers) feature in songs like "Lobo estepario contra caballos desbocados" or "La Metamorfosis", which contrast with delicate arrangements and melodies which soothe the unending outbursts of rage. "El bosque en llamas" is a brilliant mixture of different elements, including instrumentals like "El innombrable" or "El exilio de los invisibles", which dynamize the sound of the record and fit perfectly, thanks to the work of Arturo Vaquero, which makes the record a pleasurable listen from beginning to end, and “readable” as a novel – the texts are moving, simple and stark, and give us a glimpse of the obsessions and hopes of the creator. Interestingly, the lyrics show opposing poles too, something that seems inherent to PUMUKY’s vital essence.
