As OCD will not be two
There is talk of the East, but the new generation of the years 2020, which we call it that, also comes from the West. Besides the modern atmosphere of Bilbao, there are other springs, perhaps with branches, but with their own voice. Mungia has already created its brand, as demonstrated by the TOC group.
In progressive rock oldie, but without the need to sing twelve minutes, mungiarras are developing their own sound. One of the features of your recordings is dirt, specifically searched at home. It is appreciated because imperfection encourages the group.
Without one, two EPs were released on the eve of the Durango Fair and collect four songs, further tuning the mungiar style. On the return of rock and postpunk, the iconic voice cry of Xabier Bilbao and the guitar arrangements of Aitor Etxebarria – here the least harmonic, there the dissonance, never twice the same – give the group the label. As OCD will not be two.
Well, Nire Loa can remember to offer Lorak de Gatibu – as his producer says in the comments on Youtube – but if you can relate something to harmony, in no case is it an aesthetic reference. They're more similar to Lil Mutiko: "I go up on stage and I take it out, Alex Sardui, Alex Sardui."
Because they are tough and elegant, and in this EP they have shown it even more. I place an Eternal Night among the best Basque songs last year (M.S.) with this powerful final crack: “Even if it’s dark / Be clear / I’m always there.” Because we have to lie from time to time to confront ourselves.
The lyrics and especially the melodies have pain. Although the songs sung to happiness in the Gaztea Awards and the lists have more protection, or patronage?, we need other melodies to clarify the dark moments. In the society that goes to the picotta, singing from the bottom up and from pain strengthens us a lot more.
Because the letters were not understood in previous works, I have seen many memes there (by the way, are there topics that have not given many memes?). But sometimes you don't have to understand it to feel you. Because OCD is a magnet. And they don't have a manager at their parties, and I don't know where to go with funnel. But if you're caught by the magnet, you're caught by yours. He cannot release it.
Semi-modern,half-macardised, that the OCD is a model, a point of arrival of this decade that is changing: “In its structure a song / It is the one I have but not much / I have a silver bullet / For those pirated infiizers”.
