Vacios y Variables with Pyramides - An Interview


No primeiro dia de Março deste ano, aconteceu o debute dos argentinos do Pyramides, "Vacios y Variables".

O disco passeia pelo pós punk clássico, sempre melódico e melancólico, mas sem pender para o lado sombrio, a bem da verdade o álbum me remete a alguns clássicos tupiniquins dos 80´s como Finis Africae, por incrível que pareça, o que de certo tem a ver com as referências tanto do Pyramides como do Finis.

Este paradoxo serve perfeitamente para situar a música do Pyramides em um espectro de tempo indefinido, o mesmo servindo para o Finis, afinal de contas o que conta mesmo é a música conseguir suportar o tempo independentemente de quando foi criada, neste caso o Finis continua soando atual e o Pyramides mais ainda.

Bela estréia dos hermanos.

Its the best thing in the world, at least for me (Facundo) is the best way to erase the bad thoughts, at least for a moment. Its like a trance.

Pyramides sounds pretty much like a mix between Dream pop and post punk really. But we are ways trying to change our sound. Every rehearsal.
