It was extremely interesting talking with Mario Anzola of Captan, Obvio over email. Captan, Obvio comes to us from Caracas, Venezuela, where Mario says there is virtually no appreciation for any sort of musical experimentation. In essence, these guys are on their own. This information totally intrigued me to listen to this record. What I found was music that was very similar in sound and approach to the scene in which I currently reside – Louisville, and its historic post-rock period, from 4,000 miles away!
Though the band cites classic psychedelic influences, Wachu Min takes pages out of the books of June of 44 and Rodan. Spastic and angular guitar interplay, moods rife with paranoia, tinty electronic textures, and an improvisational attitude dominate Wachu Min. If the following tracks sound rather cohesive, they should. Captan, Obvio recorded this record in a single day and session, which you don’t hear of too often (Electrelane’s Axes was the last album I can think of produced this way).
Captan, Obvio is on MySpazz right over here.
