I have no idea how to best describe the sophmore album by Los Crema Paraiso except to say it's all a bit twisted. De Pelicula is an energetic ride through everything ever and includes the craziest amalgamation of musical influences converging to make a solid musical statement ever recorded. De Pelicula has it all and that's just in the first three songs. We're talking metal, jazz, Latin, funk whatever, it's all actually on this record. As the band notes, “ our music sounds like a combination of high speed bossa nova with a jazzy modern waltz, and percussive atmospherics with a warmth and sweetness that only a mix of these elements can bring.”
These
guys can play, are unafraid to experiment, compose songs as if they
were done on the fly and do some amazing covers of Depeche Mode and
Tears for Fears! Their take on, “Personal Jesus,” is one for
the ages. Los Crema Paraiso are an amazing unit of musicians who
take their Venezuelan roots mix them with North American and European
influences, a few chemistry sets, a couple of odd times changes,
perhaps some psychedelics and wind up with songs that are so frenetic
and organic that it's hard to believe this is all done by a trio. De
Pelicula is fantastic in every
possible way. It's a record that keeps you guessing and leaves you
in awe when they change direction. There's no way to predict what
these guys are going to do next because they come at you from every
angle with so many different approaches it's overwhelming.
De Pelicula
is music the way it should be; passionate, energetic, and
ridiculously fun. Los Cerma Paraiso are amazing at what they do and
they allow their passions to take root in every song here and as a
result the record is an honest work of art.
