We have already started the distribution of copies of the November issue of Mondo Sonoro magazine. A number that leads to Long live Sweden on the cover for the release of his new album.
Four guys who headline posters, who have been doing this for twelve years and who say they are more nervous than Marco in “Sorpresa, Surprise” about this new album, can only mean one thing: that they have given their all to it. “Made in times of peace” (Universal, 25) sounds like Long live Sweden launched, united and sincere.
Kevin Parker, that is, Tame Impalahas become a very important name on a global level step by step. Now, with his fifth album, “Deadbeat” (Columbia/Sony, 25), distances itself from its more psychedelic side to explore simpler and more electronic terrain.
The word “generational” sneaks into everything that is written about Sound Depression. Also his statements about how little he likes interviews. That’s why, when I meet him, I do so expectantly, with some fear. But soon I see him smiling with the cassette “Dogs don’t understand the internet (…and I don’t understand feelings)” (Sound Boy, 25) fresh from the factory.
How will these Brits pronounce the name of their own band? “I like to say that there is no right or wrong: Maruja or “Marusha,” says smiling Harry Wilkinson, singer and frontman of the Manchester band that is beginning to make waves in a panorama that fits like a glove: a world on the verge of collapse in which there is much, too much drama to make visible. He talks about all that “Pain To Power” (Music For Nations/Sony. 25), their full-length debut.
The Sevillians Youth They publish their first album, “Youth” (Calaverita Records, 25), an album that is a kaleidoscope of psychedelic techno-pop with hints of the neighborhood (not the group) of Triana.
After more than two decades on stage, the Australians Parkway Drive has established itself on its own merits as one of the most recognized bands in metal. Twenty years of experience in which their sound has not stopped evolving, without losing that hook that makes them unique. We spoke with Jeff Ling, guitarist of the group.
“Tears of Molten Lead” (El Volcán Música, 25) is the new joint project of Los Estanques and El Canijo de Jerez. An album that crosses progressive rock and Andalusian folklore to place both on common ground in which experimentation and complicity set the course.
“Dance Called Memory” (Sub Pop/Popstock!, 25), Brooklyn’s fourth album, is a refined synth-pop manifesto with which they aspire to consolidate what they gained with their previous work. We interview Nation of Language.
The Madrid trio Rata Negra opens a new stage with “Hawai” (Sonido Muchacho, 25), their first album for the label,
and the most unprejudiced “pop” they have ever made. An album that almost didn’t exist.
And that’s it, everything related to our most extensive interviews, although you can also find articles about new releases from Psychotic Beats or the irish kingfishras well as, a review of the discography of Radiohead or an interesting analysis of what the edition of “Stankonia” meant for the career of Outkast. Not forgetting our usual sections dedicated to reviews of albums, books, comics, series, movies or podcasts.
Finally, here you have a playlist with the contents of the issue so that you can provide soundtracks to your reading.
