Plastic is the album that the Vizcain band has edited in 2020 and has been one of the concerts that left them this year, always in good condition, of course. From the hand of the young Cris, Josu, Lore and Lander, strength, freshness and dirty precision for an hour. I say dirty rigor, because behind that (sometimes dark) music that can have a point of weariness or abruptness, you can see an absolute accuracy and control. Tuning has also been in place at all times, except when they have not wanted, of course.
Belako sings almost everything in English. So I started thinking about how many of those in the room criticize (we have) the choice of singing in Spanish in some artists (although they don't give them a name, you know what I mean) and what happens to us unnoticed in others. Why is it English and not Spanish? Because is it a choice made from the very beginning? Or is it a matter of style?
All the components of the group sing in one song or the other and that adds a songwriter to the band. Compact to the group, gives integrity. I flipped in a single song what you're able to do: commute changes that surprise you, Cris's control expositions on the voice and the unbeatable laughing that would return to the first time. They've also been able to touch the images. At the end of the song The Craft, for example, they have made a computer effect on the disc without live traps. The song has collapsed. That is what surprised me. And although within the marked perimeters, people have been encouraged to dance around the table, giving the atmosphere of the concert a normality or a minimal sense.
I usually feel closer to the musicians who talk to the audience, and I've seen that's not the case for these four young people. They have not gone much further than thanking them, and yet they have managed to convey that closeness and warmth through interaction between them and mere attitude towards the public. It's hard to disconnect from what you believe on stage.
It's the first time I've seen it on the stage in Belako, and it's true that in an interview it said this: you don't know how to give it all in concerts.
