Amuleto Apotropaico by Amuleto Apotropaico

In a world with no interest in our wellbeing, negativity becomes the ambient, everpresent norm, a state which we must actively ward off to avoid. Amuleto Apotropaico stage a spiritual intervention on their self-titled EP, using the music as fortification around themselves to hold the army of emotional darkness at bay. Tense, droning instrumentals portray our precarity, painting the sky gray with the smoke of enemy campfires just beyond the gates. Meanwhile, an intensely human, refreshingly organic barrage of eclectic percussion rallies our defenses, breaking free of the constraints of time signature to function somewhere between the free flows of speech and thought. Whether our defenses hold forever, every day lived within these walls marks an essential victory, another day lived under siege as capital and its many mercenaries scheme to snuff out the human spirit. As long as we keep making art, our flag stands, taunting a posthuman future to move its horizon closer to our sacred city.
