Nostalgia for the future

The nostalgia of the future is a bomb. Mark Fisher talked about the economy of depression and capitalist realism before suicide. Is there another possible reality? What is our time? We can look back and give way to what happened, in the heavy backpack of our generation. Knees to knees. The future is a challenge that must be addressed every day. And Merina Gris is a bomb.

The crystals of a burst building offer the veil of brokas healing and have been able to relate rude shouts and simple melodies in eight very careful and produced songs. You have to get the rage out, but singing together: Esan behar dut, ez gelditu azala. What is pop music not building bridges around our background?

Ed is Dead, Alizzz and Charlie XCX are pop, such as Kortatu, Berri Txarrak and Chill Mafia. Singing together cures the heridas.Lo we try, even if it doesn't seem so. In short, we can laugh at what makes us cry. We were no happier before.

The trio Paskal, Julen and Sara have not yet raised all the powders to be lifted, but it will come. They are testing a new electronics and a new imaginary and with a powerful direct.

Without provincial pretensions we can approach the time from here, from here and from here. That's Heaven now. We, this camouflaged generation of the dark future, not the future, those waiters who want to make you believe that everything is repetition.

“Everything is invented,” they say. We say: everything is yet to be done. And Merina Gris is a bomb.
