Piramide Records/South American Sludge Records – 2016

Rock, Drone, Atmospheric, Sludge, Stoner, Space, Experimental, Folk

Rated: ***

Sergio Chotsourian we ofcourse know from a little band called Los Natas. But the good man is also the owner of his own label and naturally releases solo records. His second one is titled Aurora and is even more atmospheric and mantra like in comparison to everything he did with Los Natas. It’s experimental and spacious nature gives new meaning to the label ‘free rock’ as his other band wanted to be labelled. Especially on opening track Aurora. Afterwards we get a more acoustic treatment that feels similar to what the man did on his debut album 1974. But on that record he got a little help from his friends. This time around only Milagros Arrom pitches in with some guitars and metallophone. In all it leads to a sunny, natural record that enchants with its broad vistas and transcendental progressions. With it, he might have exorcised his demons. And hey, and you might even get a glimpse of the endless light…

The Argentinean Three Amigo’s are one of the most prolific producers of music out there. Already on their twelfth, thirteenth or maybe twentieth album; the guys keep growing and amaze! Once pushed into the corner of stoner and psychedelica; these guys have been able to fight themselves out of there with their own style. Free Rock is what they call it; and it is a combination of all that is right in music! Groove from the depths of their soul; and beautiful guitar. This time around there is some addition of Argentinean folk. An album which gives the listener a powerful experience. Three hoorays’s for:
