Album review: Cuando fuimos a la luna - Not berlin
I found this album a lot time ago thanks to a recommendation on a YouTube video, since then I've listened to it many times. I think they have a unique and nice sound here, it's their first album and they did a great job. At least I haven't found something similar.
Disclaimer: I know very little (almost nothing) about music production and music theory.
Short opinion of ever song
My favorites are marked with ✨
Cuandofuimosalaluna: this intro it's ok, perfect for getting in the space mood, but I'll be honest, I skip it often.
Besando el viento ✨: I like the lyrics for this song, it's poetic but doesn't sound cheesy, loved that.
Distancia: I like the recordings they add in the songs like this one, match very well with the theme of the album (space and the moon). I also like the sound of the guitar. It's a nice song, feels fresh, but not in my favorites.
Tan normal: the effects on the voice and the synths here are very cool. It always stick to my head the part "Ella esta sentada esperando que".
128_: this song it's very chill, I feel like would be perfect for listening in the beach at blue hour. The bass at the end is nice, very smooth.
Solo ✨: this is a headbanger but if you pay attention to the lyrics, it's actually a sad song. I would dance to this not gonna lie...
Hasta el cielo: pretty song, it's very cheesy but i think in a good way.
Hotel: another headbanger, I just vibe so much with the chorus.
Ya no importa ✨: I used to have this song on repeat when I first discovered this album and it's because of the instrumental break, that part with the synth it's really good. Also the drums and the guitar are on point 👌.
Ww (Berlin): pretty ballad, I don't have much to say about this song since I don't listen to it often.
Última noche: good way to finish this album. I forgot the EDM? sound at the end, very creative.
In general, this album it's really cohesive and the theme it's very clear. Being honest, it's hard for me to find music in Spanish that I like, but this band just resonated with me. I like the lyrics for most of the songs and, from my point of view, the instrumentals and production are great too.
Thanks for reading :)
Little note: I was listening to the firsts songs with cheap headphones because I forgot and when I change to better ones the music changed a lot! good headphones really make the difference.
