This week album is from 2005. Snowdrop's review will sometimes be reviewing album that are not just released, if we consider something has to be written about some discovery we made.
Sin ropas is actually the only band I know that has zero friends on myspace, and in a way it fit quite well with their detachment . They also aren't avaiable on I tunes and wikipedia doesn't say a word about them, which make them kind of a secret band.
Their last album, fire prizes, is somewhere between lo fi and sadcore , if we have to use such classification to give an idea to what it might sound like. The record was made after a huge flood in the town in which they recorded it, marshall, in 2005 .
So they describe the album as the consequence of the amount of desperation that a flood brings. It could be a nice music to get drown with, if earphones were able to work under water. It's definitely music to listen with headphones, cause the fine arrangement, background noises, small strings sounds, amplifiers sounds like buzzers , would bring more benefit if they are listen in autistic conditions. The album is released by shrug records in vynils with code to get mp3 here
The tracks are all more than five minutes long, which makes the record a long playing one, even if it's only eight tracks on it. If some of the tracks are not that impressive, possibly due to the fact that it doesnt sound that new in 2009, there are at least three really great tracks on the record, which make it an amazing album, if we consider that an album with only one good track is quite rare around.
The lengh of the tracks often end in an absorbing deluge of noises that is more able to talk to your guts than to your mind. The contrast of this kind of noises with the whispered , almost lullaby singing of Tim hurley, whose voice is often doubled one octave pitched, makes the identity of sin ropas songs.
The band is a duet, so both hurley and Danni Iosello are kind of one man band and one women band each, if we consider the number of separated tracks that are on each song.
The cover of the album is a really nice painting from brent green who is a self-taught animated filmmaker. The viny edition is limited but still avaiable here. You can see the picture disc also.
