Bleep

Unique, other-worldly and highly intriguing are three terms which could be used to describe this debut release from the Colombian group Meridian Brothers. If you can imagine the southern American mystique of Eblen Macari or Jorge Reyes paired with the wacked out homemade wizardry of Paddy Steer then you’re about as close as we can get to describing this album. Minus the vocals. With a primary focus on experimental rhythm and texture, Eblis Alvarez describes his process of leading the group as being one which embraces unusual approaches to playing ones instrument, championing ‘small noises and deformed melodies’ over preconceived formalities.
