This One That Came a Bit Late But It's From a Far-Out Corner of the Earth Right From Where We Are So It's Kinda Okay We Guess - Los Savants



Hold it right there - yes, the header of this entry confirms that this could yet be another addition to our string of recurring features where it's basically still about music, and some random shit whenever we feel BS happy.

We are delighted to report that this precious find we stumbled upon here came all the way from Guadalajara, Mexico - a land where the media portrayed the people as sombrero-wearing, fajitas and tacos-eating cheap labors, and each year they celebrate something called Cinco de Mayo. And their folk music is something that sounds like a funfair called mariachi. Yes we are pretty much that ignorant about this country and their people; apart from their crippling problem with the drug gangs which recently made the news headline. Hell, we can't even recall any artist or band that came from this country. Our mind inexplicably directed towards Sepultura, but they came from Brazil.

We tried to mine for any information about this band (Read: Wikipedia), and most importantly one that is not in Spanish, but it came to no avail. So, armed with no more than the knowledge of their Myspace page, and their own website, we posted this entry and called the day off. They sounded something like a cross between Death From Above 1979 (track no.2 "2182A"; track no.4 "Misiles"), bits of Black Moth Super Rainbow (especially the part where they used the vocoder), God is an Astronaut (track no.3 "Benito Era Un Duende"), and Polvo (track no.6 "Las Jirafas Compraron Pijamas En Boston Y..."). We like to call this kind of marriage of sound as 'deliciously good'.
