Review
Temaukel,
The Spirit Before Time, is the direct follow-up to Demonauta’s 2016
album Tierra del Fuego. The album carries on the heavy psychedelic
fuzz the band created on that celebrated album. Though Temaukel, The
Spirit Before Time, has a more subdued and progressive style of music
compared to their last album. The album also feels way more personal
as well.
As with their last album, the vocals and lyrics are sung both in English and Spanish. If you’re a fan of Demonauta’s previous albums then Temaukel, The Spirit Before Time, will make you love the band even more.
Truth
be told, it did take myself a long time to genuinely admire this
album. I don’t know why. As I’m huge admirer of Demonauta and
their blend of Psychedelic Fuzz/Stoner Rock. Temaukel, The Spirit
Before Time, took me about 4 listens to actually enjoy and admire the
album in it’s own right.
The
highly progressive Fuzz/Stoner Rock vibes and the fantastic vocals
have quite a dreamy and spaced out effect on certain parts of the
album. I’m not going to do a song-by-song review as it’s best to
listen to this album in one full sitting and as one epic song. The
album will lead you onto a continuous and cinematic journey with a
high amount of thrilling moments to impress you along the way.
Some
parts of the album have a Mars Red Sky style of music especially with
the more ambient and psychedelic parts of the album. Though Demonauta
are still very much their own band. As the band have been in
existence for a decade now and have released a string of acclaimed
albums since then. Temaukel, The Spirit Before Time is the band’s
5th album and this album will only enhance Demonauta’s
reputation as one of the finest Desert/Fuzz/Stoner Rock band that the
South American scene has to offer.
Excellent
and Highly Recommended.
