Luna En Caelo- Aquellos Desgarradores Gritos Llamados Silencio

"Santiago, Chile natives dubbing themselves as "neo expressionists". Luna in Caelo translates to "Moon in the sky" & the album title means, "Those tearing screams called silence". An innovative release that's experimental & quite varied. Sort of a cross between This Mortal Coil, Cocteau Twins, & the more experimental works of Controlled Bleeding. Founder & vocalist, Alejandra opens the disc w/ a pretty & hypnotic lament called "Doubt". "Sorrow" is a ghostly wall of sound w/ loud droning guitars amidst drowning clouds of smoke & chanting reverb. "Conscience", "Goodbye", "Trapeze", & "Plural" picks up the pace w/ a sort of trip hop, indie rock, psychedelic flavor w/out abandoning the ethereal, isolated shoegazer elements. "Mad" is a mournful, brooding soundtrack for the bitter soul, while "Torment" continues much in the style of a Projekt familiarity w/ soothing tides of ominous airs. "Sieges", "Confinement", & "Whisper" resume in all their bittersweet, ambience of drones & cascading laments. Worth checking out." www.palaceofworms.com
