Las Resenas Casuales. Sidonie "Sierra Y Canada"

Sidonie "Sierra Y Canada" (p)2014 Sony Music

Let's start to move the Sidonie albums from 'Rock' to 'Electronica' category, cos this catalan trio (known for the "fuck the barbershop" attitude) has abandoned guitars and started playing the synth-driven future pop. Also you may take Parade or even La Casa Azul as the new reference points to the Sidonie's creative heritage. Quite embarassing? Don't bother. Their trademark touches of psychedelia ain't gone anywhere and still are clearly present. But the main reason why should we not to worry about the changes in the band's modus operandi are the songs. The songs here are the best in the band's career. Even their breakthrough 2007's album "Costa Azul" was not so perfectly crafted melodically. 

Though desperately missing the guitars in the mix and still considering "El Fluido Garcia" as their strongest effort to-date, I can't deny the melodic grandeur of the new album. These songs will surely make you sing and dance along and get stuck in your head for (at least) months.

The best tracks: Rompe Tu Voz, Un Dia De Mierda, Sierra Y Canada (Historia de Amor Asincronica), Las Dos Correas
