Estamos muy emocionados por transmitirles nuestras primeras impresiones con respecto al lanzamiento del primer álbum de estudio del cuarteto de Calgary, Viet Cong, dicho material será lanzado por la Disquera Californiana Jagjaguwar el próximo Martes 20 de Enero de este 2015.
En su EP debut "Cassette" editado en 2013 y posteriormente Re-editado por el sello Mexican Summer en 2014, nos presentaron melodías vanguardistas inspiradas en sonidos de los 80´s retomando la peculiaridad inicial del proyecto al que pertencian Matthew Flegel y Mike Wallace (WOMEN), ahora en compañía de Scott Munro y Daniel Christiansen lograron en conjunto una transmutación que lleva al desenvolvimiento de un sonido que venimos escuchando desde finales de la década pasada y que en la actualidad ha servido de inspiración para muchas bandas en su mayoría Canadienses. En este, su primer trabajo de estudio, nos muestran con veracidad el rumbo hacia donde va enfocado el proyecto, concretandolos como una de las propuestas mas prometedoras de esta década.

"Newspaper Spoons" es la canción con la que comienza el álbum, un prologo provocativo que emula el coraje del Frente Nacional De Liberación de las Guerrilas de Vietnam oponiendo resistencia y buscado protegerse de los ataques de la armada Norteamericana a finales de la década de los 60´s. Una batería saturada con distorsión de la guitarra, acompañadas de un coro inapasible y violento que vertiginosamente te transporta a la calma generada por un melodioso sintetizador que le da fin a este himno de apertura.
"Pointless Experience" resalta el virtuosismo que Mike Wallace tiene como baterista compenetrando con una acústica expulsaba por la guitarra de Daniel Christiansen a velocidad singular que bloquea tus sentidos al momento en que la voz de Matthew hace presencia dando muestra del sello tan característico que la banda imprime y demuestra como algo novedoso, hablamos de instrumentos a destiempo que tienen la capacidad de copiar y pegar notas donde uno menos se lo imagina.
"March of Progress" representa una monotonía compulsada con matices homogéneos que convergen en un estado subreal de armonía para llevarte a un punto culmine detonado en un estado de extasiada euforia.
"Bunker Buster" siendo el primer adelanto que conocimos de este álbum, podemos decir que ya nos venían preparando para recibir con ánimos este material discográfico. La canción incurre en tonos altos de poder que llevan a expresar el sentido de destrozar lo inquebrantable, aplastando fugazmente la idea de un único poder inexistente.
Continuando con la impetuosa melodía de "Continental Shelf", un tema que abre con un estruendo en la guitarra seguido de la tranquilidad de la voz, canción compleja con una estructura simple que logra empatizar fácilmente con las emociones de una atmósfera asfixiante, provocada por la sumisión e inquietud, consecuencia de buscar una salida hacia lo inevitable, el cuál inconscientemente se va negando a una aceptación de la realidad, sumergiéndote en lo irreal.
March Of progress represents a homogeneous monotony certified with nuances that converge in a surreal state of harmony to take a culminating point ending in a state of ecstatic euphoria.
Bunker Buster being the first preview we met on this album can say that we were coming and prepared to receive with animos this discografico material. The song incurs high tones of power leading to express the sense of destroying the unwavering, briefly crushing the idea of a single inexsistente power.
Continuing the Continental Shelf impetuous melody, a song that opens with a bang on guitar followed by tanquilidad voice, complex song with a simple structure which manages easily empathize with the emotions of a suffocating atmosphere caused by the submission and inquieetud consequence of finding a solution to the inevitable, which will unconsciously denying an acceptance of reality, immersing you in the unreal.
While the disc is still running, it is preparing the epilogue of this great album, the song that gives the first tints of this sublime end, borne by "Silhouettes" abrupt start and forced marches, be glimpsing the high level of PA SYSTEM that manage to interpret together the four men present behind their instruments.
Death as the name of the song says what comes to end the life of this Album. This song represents all the genius of Viet Cong, each of the members are developed in such a way that exploit its qualities, making finding that one would survive as a whole. The song is so complete from start to finish that is extremely exepcional, it's hard to believe that is was made taking into account the current music live an era in which talent remains in limbo where fear and prejudice is the factor that limits the expression.
This is the reason why a band like the Viet Cong is is great, pure, own talent and no presumption or fear prove're on the right to earn a special place in the history of Rock Road.
Mientras el disco sigue corriendo, se va preparando el epilogo de este gran álbum, la canción que da los primeros tintes de este sublime final, corre a cargo de "Silhouettes", brusca de inicio y a marchas forzadas, se va vislumbrando el gran nivel de sonorización que logran interpretar en conjunto los cuatro hombres presentes de tras de sus correspondientes instrumentos.
"Death" como el mismo nombre lo dice. viene a dar fin a la vida de este Álbum. Esta canción representa todo la genialidad de Viet Cong, cada uno de los integrantes se desenvuelve de tal manera que explotan sus cualidades, haciendo constatar que solo sobrevivirían como conjunto si el ego del virtuosismo de cada uno lo permite. La canción es tan completa de principio a fin que resulta sumamente excepcional, es difícil creer que halla sido compuesta tomando en cuenta que la música actual vive una época en el que el talento permanece en un limbo donde el miedo, el prejuicio y la pretensión que los aleja de su esencia, es el factor que limita la expresión pura y sencilla que inspira una buena canción.
Este es el motivo por el cuál una banda como lo es Viet Cong resulta atractiva, talento puro propio y que sin presunción ni miedo a demostrarlo van por el camino correcto para ganarse un lugar privilegiado en la historia del Rock.
