Souvenir by Sueño Púrpura

For fans of Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Yoo Doo Right, and that feeling of sublime, awestruck romance when we witness a natural wonder of the world, Souvenir by Sueño Púrpura brings back a vintage flavor of guitar-driven post rock with a modern shoegaze twist. Heroic, minutes-long dynamic swells culminate in a chaotic escalation of the album’s motorik krautrock form, with noisy guitars playing these enormous, lush chords taking our emotions to dazzling heights. In the shadow of these peaks, moments of nebulous, freeform experimentation take form, employing familiar deeply reverbed, intentionally unresolved guitar riffs which currently dominate the heavy music landscape. By taking this climb out of predictability and into these wrenching, powerful peaks, Sueño Púrpura unleashes a manic energy hiding within these sounds. With the brakes removed and the limitations lifted, our emotional expression moves in ways astounding, terrifying, and beautiful, inspiring all the fear of a raging river and all the inner serenity of an untouched forest.
