Free Music Review: Who says pretty boys are shallow?
Hit: 5 Stars
Volumen Cero occupies a privileged position as my favorite rock-en-español band whose name suggests they don't actually make sound (other contenders include Heroes del Silencio and El Gran Silencio).
"Estelar" hits that sweet spot of alt-rock bliss - north of indie-garage-band, south of corporate, not too noisy, not too precious. The songwriting is every bit as consistent and inspiring as the material on their major-label debut, "Luces" - these guys are obviously in touch with their muse, as guitarist Marthin Chan writes so much good stuff that he has top-flight songs left over for his English band Popvert and EMI's great bilingual prospect JD Natasha.
The result is that Volumen Cero is either a group you like or you love. It's really hard to find them offensive in any way, unless maybe you were in a fight with them.
There are a few annoying moments, however. The otherwise gorgeous "A Donde Quiera Que Voy" (not written by the band) is so lavish in its praise for some deity or other that it almost gives off a cult-like "My Sweet Lord" vibe. Also, during a 5/4 bridge that would otherwise inoculate the guys from "pretty-boy" criticism, they violate the rock ethos a bit by using vocal overdubs to "flawlessly" execute a vocal line that leaves no space for breaths. You guys aren't LU, ok?
"Universe" is another outstanding song marred by an unusually sacchariney vocal performance from Luis Tamblay and a corny opening line: "I am lost in our universe, can anyone hear me?" V.C. phone home? Oh, and the floating-eyebrows album cover isn't exactly "Abraxas," either.
But on balance, "Estelar," is, well, stellar; it absolutely deserved its Latin Grammy nomination and as far as I'm concerned should've won the trophy.
