Somehow SigObrilllAndo mixed traditional Chilean folk music written with an electronic music structure and aesthetic in mind and IDM. Watch the music video, which seems to be liquids captured or emulated to provide an analog to the way the music flows into your mind, bubbles about and swirls and draws you into its textured beats and swirls of melody, vocal, electronic and organic. Low end drones blend in but remain separate from the effervescent melodic synth line which is distinct from the abstract vocals and the dynamic and loop of a gentle guitar arpeggio. Utterly entrancing, fans of Seefeel and Slowdive in its less rock moments will find this song’s slow moving, soothing wave a beautiful place to get lost for several minutes that feel like a single minute. The track comes from the project’s album Cosmic Zoo and you can listen to it now along with watch the rather colorful, in the literal sense, video on YouTube.
