Summer Sun

Deep in the new millennium, I had the I have found your Aleph discovered a new decade with Summer's Sun in the troughs.

The nineties had been sitting very well with the band and began the century was greeted with an outstanding work as "And Then Nothing Turned Itself Inside-Out". The press exhausted his praise in just five years and "Yola ..." became a global band. He played in crowded frames, scenarios worthy of show business and rolled across continents spreading his music - including Argentine territory.

The progression of sound that the band had been shaping since the last decade, had brought priceless gems. Many of his songs reached to the people. Ira was becoming sharper and more direct with his lyrics, and learned to give a different connotation to the pop song and poetry romantic without being cheesy (matter who owe thousands of Latino singers).

Summer's Sun is an album as warm as its name. In 2003, with the summer sun, the fruit of Yo La I have reached maturity. Everything is assembled compactly: vocals, arrangements, each instrument is clear.

The album from the start shows that YLT was flirting with new sounds. Tracks can be seen stuck in reverse, a bongo, voices coming from different directions and a DJ stroking a vinyl record to accompany a party atmosphere House. For its title (Beach Party Tonight), we know it on the beach and we understand that it was night.

The next topic, Little Eyes, starts out as an underwater journey that emerges and begins to move on a warm beach that was once ruled by the Beach Boys - the chorus, the vocal melodies with Georgia forward and McNew and Ira doing falsetto with intentions corals indicated.

The beach weather is taken up with "Season of the Shark." Anger arises positively - but - "is difficult, is the same for all ... they sink so much that even blame the sun for the shadows on the wall." Finally throws "not be afraid ... look around you, if not me, then someone you know. You are not alone. Ignore the shadows on the wall mean nothing. " Everything is stretched to the rhythm of the heartbeat and gingla-gingla guitars. The disc works. It is good and there is still a long way to go.

Today is the Day is another high point. The Yo I have (all times) crops with long instruments Georgia tells a tangled love story. A Slide is giving plenty of colorful brushstrokes sound of his voice and sudden interventions of low or piano that break with the structure. It all ends with a fade-out and Georgia admitting that "today is the day I think of you."

Tiny Birds maintains the level of kindness, but this time Ira's who repaired with tenderness in those little birds that sit together during the long summer, in the same branch. Declared dutifully singing "I'll show you everything I ordered (You want to know?) Until there is nothing in the world to show you." Meanwhile, the music gets a brilliant treatment that borders on jazz players and their characteristic pop, at times, invites us to dance.

Finally some experiments are going to be like Georgia vs. Yo La I have (which seems a game Dubley instrumental in the hammer responds to all sounds that throw their peers) or close to the pseudo-remix "Nuclear War". But we must note two jewels as "Let be still" a popular song that extends to an endless jam session of ten and a half minutes and the beautiful "Take Care" given the breakup of a relationship (This sounds like a goodbye. Guess that is somehow "), but not without telling gently bouncing" Take care. Please, take care. "

From my little corner of the world ... standing applaud.
