Flores Silvestres

***"Formed in Santiago de Chile in 2016, Flores Silvestres take us towards a state of anesthetized transcendental meditation, songs built with harmonious melodies on heavy bases, dancing rhythms that weave a folk lysergy. The languid soundscapes created forgot production, emotional turmoil or anything overly dramatic. Their music explores the sadness of pleasure, and the pleasure of sadness, and with each song they deepen this inquiry a little more. Momentos Subterráneos is responsible for reclaiming the dark side of psychedelia, exemplified by more relaxed songs, giving life to music with sinuous contours that embraces the most classic psychedelia and folk-pop, although it also encompasses quite well the dissociative design typical of the 80s and 90s heard in bands like Rain Parade, Jesus and Mary Chain or Galaxie 500. The succession of the album's songs seems to take us from the abyss of the nightmare to the luminous awakening, from despair to the maternal whisper." "Second album, dark and mysterious, dreamy blend of shadowy psychedelia and melancholic sweetness. Vocals swathed in echo singing strung-out and captivating all at once, and careful acid guitar soloing make perfect foils. This album might be an ideal soundtrack for daydreaming."
