Concert: Nudozurdo

Evento pasado

Those who know them understand that they are like a river. You will never step into the same Nudozurdo twice. And for their Cerezales concert, they are bringing an exclusive lineup and will be recreating their songs acoustically, accompanied by a cello and a viola. It will be an intimate review of their classics, without neglecting their new material.

That band, which recorded 'Sintética' with its restrained and elaborate pop, transformed into the raw rock of Tara motor hembra. Then, Leo Mateos began to take an interest in synthesizers and software, and the possibilities they opened up for him to unleash his more personal experiments. Out of that exploration emerged his side project, Acuario, and also the group's fourth album, 'Rojo es peligro', which is nothing less than the axe with which to fell, by hand, the trees that prevented him from seeing the wood. That wood, of course, could not be a place of peace and quiet; it remains as disturbing as their first album. Only now, no longer so obviously, but almost the opposite. The darkness and urgency of before have been transformed into light and space; the songs breathe, Leo Mateos's guitars are detailed and not thick, Meta's basses are melodic and precise, the drums – from Ricky Lavado, of Standstill, the group's new addition – are mechanical in their moderation, and the synthesizers are key to the album: they play, they shine, and they make the whole thing sparkle. And, above all, Mateos's distinctive voice, making it sound not like a change, but like a precise and elegant evolution, surprising with new and unexpected registers.
