01. Leon Benavente "Leon Benavente" (p) Marxophone
Abraham Boba is a busy man. Formerly emerging as the member of Nacho Vegas' studio and touring team, later he became the anticipated session musician appearing on the albums by Julio De La Rosa, Pumuky, and tons of others as well as having three successful solo releases on Limbo Starr label. Now teamed up with old pal Luis Rodriguez (also of Nacho Vegas' team fame) on guitar along with Eduardo Baos from Tachenko (bass) and Cesar Verdu from Schwarz (drums) he started a new band (himself focusing on his 'Farfisa' and singing duties). Though this project hardly contradicts all what these well-trained men did before, but also it hardly coincides fully with their previous experiences, and the sound of their debut disc has little in common with Nacho Vegas or Tachenko. Loosely based on Joy Division-inspired branch of gloomy post-punk so many times reinterpreted by myriads of bands worldwide, the music on "Leon Benavente" is nevertheless deeper, smarter, and more emotionally charged (especially in the songs "La Palabra" or "Ser Brigada" with the inner tension escalated to the point where it could produce the spontaneous combustion) than the most of contemporaries. And the voice of Boba - warm but pretty detached - sticks all the parts together creating such the well-balanced and inward-looking state in you that you easily fall into to never come back. Until the music stops.
