INFO
If we were into trends, we could say "the nineties are back". But fortunately we're just into good music, and these sentences don't bother us too much Persona have proved again with their third album that they're one of the mist powerful spanish bands yet to be dicovered, and that their ability to make their sound absolutely compact is awesome. No slots, no doubts, they're becoming one of the most solid concerete pieces of our alternative rock. Drinking from the sources of american tradition, between the relative dissonance of Washington DC sound and the darkness of early grunge, it's difficult no find a name that descibes them better than their own music. There have been many steps forward since their previous "Accident" (BCore, 2006): vocals are far more beautiful and rich, as they push music upon the sky, while the huge yet minimal rhythm base keeps their feet on the ground; sometimes, down to a hell of convulse magma. Definition in every touch, in every beat, that actually roots on nineties rock to launch them into modern soundscapes. Maybe that's their best goal, updating a sound that is far from indulgence, but searching for constant surprise, with the only apparent intention to dig into listener's guts again and again. And we must say the result has charmed us, as the record flows in a constant balance between fists and caresses; and if you can feel that on record, just imagine the same in the first row of a live performance. Pure physics, they stomp with elegance and introspection to make you dive into the depths of this excellent album.
