Discos Basura: Free Sampler delivers tasty Argentinian Underground Rock
Argentinian Weblabel Discos Basura is offering a compilation of local Experimental Rock music for free download. “15 recetas alternativas” offers an exciting glimpse at the Argentinian underground scene, otherwhise all but exclusively clouded in mystery and a lot of Spanish. With material ranging from the abrasively chopped riffs of Juventud Suicida and the dark poetry of Marioneta Mundana to the glowing electro-step of Fer Mercadal, the selection is as eclectic and energetic as it is entertaining.
In fact, the only thing the acts of “15 recetas alternativas” have in common is their geographic proximity – all artists are currently based in the city of Villa María, pcia. de Córdoba. This, however, is exactly the point. As Discos Basuro point out, its harmonic diversity is what makes the town stand out from musically more segregated communities: Obviously commercially tinted material by a band like Benigno Lugar is counterpointed by a plethora of tracks by groups who don’t even have a webpage yet.
For those willing to dig deeper, the label’s site has plenty on offer: “15 recetas alternativas” is already the 18th release by Discos Basura and their back catalogue paints an even more detailed picture of Argentinian contemporary culture. Artists like aforementioned Fer Merdadal are certainly only waiting to be discovered, their powerful and imaginative productions second to none.
