"The wind is wrong, never blows in my favor ", Alejandra Vaca vocalist sings in" Things that are not ', the song that closes "Two", the second album Les Ondes Martenot . It has been nearly seven years after her eponymous debut and the band has grown from nine members to be a quintet, but the continuity in his work appreciably since the start of the new release. Music that is still appealing to the beauty of the organic and candid lyrics that are not afraid to explore clichés get away with it.
This new album consists of songs, mainly "born before the group disappeared from the public eye after styling reputation as one of the numbers of boiling indie redeemable mid Santiago the past decade. The same move that is now in the sights of other English-speaking countries, with Gepe and Javiera Mena as lords and masters, along with a troop of bands and solo artists impressions Creole dissimilar, although pop coupled by a common vocation.
Inserted in a context different from where they were born, Les Ondes Martenot continues on charm, thanks to the immortality of his proposal: little big songs. Shells misleading, concealing the true depth of seemingly harmless phrases such as "I do not want to be in the pictures you take because, ultimately, it costs much forget" (quoted from 'Pictures', one of the great passages of the disc) or "I'll always love you, but you hide from me" (in the lyrics of "April", the opening track on fire.)
Although some technical details relating to the sound of the record, tarnish the fidelity it deserves an album like this, "Two" compensates for the shortcomings with the infectious gentleness of its nine songs. Acoustic pieces where more conventional instruments can add a guest with violin, accordion, cello and even trumpet. Written mostly by guitarist Rodrigo Hoyos, the second album of Les Ondes Martenot shows than before and are not the same, but the years have also failed to take away the tenderness. Not even a little.
