Pastora - A Journey In Noria: that rhymes does not mean that makes sense

Pastora is one of the best Spanish groups have been able to demonstrate that labeled needed to succeed, but worry about performing quality work, ideas and effort behind each disc they become apparent song to song. Always with that pert air, flirting with pop, ballads and electronica without marrying either, the Catalonian band dazzled us for far too long - I can not even remember - with a debut that led freshest 'Lola' and were able to continue with the sound to which they were giving more color, more background and gradually evolves to find that place where the artist feels comfortable while moving.

A Journey In Noria is their fourth studio album after one of the strongest paths we have known in recent years, but never to deserve a fair attention. Pastora not been converted into a transcendental philosophical group, but the tracklist Uvena is dotted with tracks like 'How much Life', 'Cosmic', 'The Bug', 'Mirona', 'I have' and so many others who sought plenty of good times to those willing to go with that point of Dolo witty, always great in his work both as a composer as great interpreter.

Perhaps the closest cut - relatively speaking, for me, still wide - is the single with which inaugurated the career promotion of the album, 'Feel The Magic', an electropop exercise reminiscent of those earlier moments but which both the input and the chorus you are foreign. Personally would have preferred a chorus in Castilian, English makes them seem two totally different songs.

Both 'a piece of land' and 'Jungle' sound sense leave more committed, more earthy, somehow continuing the dispensable 'Mature Fruits' and 'October'.

All this further contributes to 'Feel The Magic' is somewhat misplaced. The main problem that I found on a journey Noria lies in the development of letters. Pastora have always exhibited a particular compositional work in terms of lyrical concerns, but in his early works were, in their extravagance, much more coherent on this album.

In some courts as "The Nothing Brings Nothing ',' Mature Fruits' or 'exotic' are verses in the whole it seems that the only criteria when writing out the words rhyme in a consonant: This is particularly striking whereas previously he had not in any of their albums, quite the opposite. The main charm of these letters are Pastora rogue dye they tear a smile and help you fix memories of summer nights in the memory.

The pricking is not a pattern on the disc, much less, but has enough weight to highlight and leave a sense of confusion and disorganization that sometimes outweigh the positives. A cluster precisely the best virtues of Pastora iergue without question in the magnificent 'Dolce Somnis', for me the best song on the album at a great distance.

For Pastora is a fantastic group when they are released to create songs for the most crowded nights, but when the volume drops instruments and arrangements and reduce to a minimum, are able to give birth mid-tempo ballads and those who bristle the hair on the nape .
