Best Chilean discs so far in 2008 ... Download Tomorrow begins
September and patriotic festivities bring us closer to the sounds originated in our land. And if by doing reviews of the best renditions of popular music in so far this year, there are several albums that deserve attention.
The first of which was light this year, is the second work of Uncle Lucho
, banda Santiago together with the support of Carlos Cabezas
(former
Appliances ) which produced the album, is released with
" What will now shines rotten ", with 11 songs full of social criticism, sctrach, rock guitars and bass lines reminiscent of early
Prism with a good mix of "dance music" as he says his first single,
"Waste" .
With just a few days apart in April showed the expected work of the band originally from La Serena
Burning Giraffe,
"Pneumonia" , many have emerged as the best in Chilean rock that appeared in the year. The album follows the line of previous work in terms of lyrics, but are a step toward pop sensation and star guests including their songs (as
Javiera Parra and Claudio
Narea ). Continuing in the rock
national
Los Bunkers also appear in this year with a new album under his arm. After years of new songs unedited
back with "Barrio Estación" fifth album on the label of the band and the first post of a new career as a center of operations is the DF Mexico. While this album appeared in Mexico in June, here it only takes days on the market by distribution problems of his new label.
The sound of the band moves only a few years, with some elements that seem taken from the records of the mid-70s, and the lyrics are going to look into the past in a rather melancholy and moving toward a climax final with the song
"April" . Other the leftovers that stands out is the new rock poet's work with
Redolar Mauricio "Cachai Reol?" a live album that collects the best songs in a fancy box that includes a bonus DVD with interviews and 4 new songs recorded live.
