Pumuky "Justicia Poetica" (c)2015 Jabalina Musica
1) Imagine yourself floating into space, all alone, for years, with nobody to talk to. With all the aims lost. If your flight ever had any destination you effectively forgot about it. All you can listen to through the static are the sudden excerpts of old broken broadcasts and strange signals emitted God knows how many years ago from hell knows where. These sounds are your only fellow travellers. Imagine these sounds are the visions.
2) Imagine yourself standing somewhere out where in the night, staring at the fireworks with your ears shut so you can't hear these explosions that induce the perfect trembling pictures in the sky. The pictures are appearing and falling apart without a sound. Imagine these visions are the sounds.
3) Pumuky got brand new album, the fourth one. It took 4 years since "Plus Ultra" was put out to record its successor. 4 long years, it's enough time to apply some changes - especially for such the ever-evolving entity what Pumuky surely is. You probably know that the only constant member of the band to support the helmsman Jair Ramirez is his brother Noe. The rest of the cast differs from album to album - though now it seems like it's the season of stability in the band's life, as the core duo of brothers Ramirez have found the right balance in the company of Adan Zeus (El Pilar Azul) and Daniel Benavides (Luz Futuro). So "Justicia Poetica" was recorded by the same team as was the EP "Pumuky Y El Eterno Femenino" two years ago. Also it is the same team that I catched live on 2013's Sonorama, and the same team that travelled across Mexico last year's spring.
4) The album's first track "Taniyama-Shimura" is the perfect bridge from "Plus Ultra" with its guitars that grow from pulsating arpeggios to shoegaze-infused crescendo, solid drums and echoed vocals. The album's last track "Crash" could be the perfect bridge from "Plus Ultra" as well. But in between these songs we have something that is almost completely different. Starting from the second track "El Senor de las Bestias" the distinct dreampop sound surrenders to the fragile vibrant kraut rock where nothing is stable and nothing is what it seems and where the only constant thing is the deep, the warm, the haunted, the detached voice of Jair guiding you through the labyrinths of his own. Just try to mix the visions (that actually are the sounds) from the p.1 with the sounds (which are visions in fact) from the p.2 and probably you'll get the idea of what "Justicia Poetica" is.
The best tracks: Taniyama-Shimura, El Senor de las Bestias, Teoria de Cuerdas, Suprahombre, Crash
