Duo svedese che fa della poliedricità una delle armi principali da sfoderare per dar valore alla propria proposta, questo The End Of Music si nutre di tantissime suggestioni, ingloba in sé molteplici influenze, dilata gli spazi e circonda di grandeur acustica e psichedelica le proprie composizioni. Il tutto funziona? A tratti sì, a tratti no. Ma andiamo con ordine. Dopo una breve intro acustica Ursa Minor apre le danze, una cassa dritta a scandire atmosfere wave dal sapore anni '80, degli Echo And The Bunnymen periodo moscio che non convincono affatto. Ma [...]
★★★☆☆ Swedish group de la Mancha have heard about The End* of Music , and are not happy about the situation at all. Mournful acoustica and lingering rock with moderately angry outbursts in ashen surf-pop, the sophomore effort of Jerker Lund and Dag Rosenqvist may sound as if it has flowers in its hair, but the conditions in which they set up – grey skied, wallowing and wailing, shuffling feet — means said flowers are rarely in bloom for too long. An untainted, occasionally unplugged sound is broken up by the requisite echo really forcing [...]
Yes, this blog is still about swedish music and swedish artists; de la Mancha is not from la Mancha but from Göteborg. And this year they have released their first full length album "Atlas".

Because de la Mancha take the space they need to develop their songs to what they are supposed to be. Carefully they build ambiences from themes and [...]
Das Genre, das gerne als "Post-Rock" bezeichnet wird, also so eine Mischung aus Shoegaze und Dronerock, oft ohne Gesang, bringt seit einigen Jahren beständig neue Bands hervor - Mogwai, Explosions in the Sky, Godspeed You! Black Emperor, Red Sparowes, um nur einige der bekanntesten zu nennen. Der Sound vieler dieser Bands ist weitgehend amorph und uniform und kaum voneinander zu unterscheiden. Um so erfreulicher, wenn dann doch mal ein neuer Act die Bühne betritt, der sich von der Masse deutlich abhebt - De La Mancha kam mir unlängst zu Ohren und erfreute selbige mit wirklich gelungenen Songs, die [...]
I was very influenced by the makeup of Claudia Cardinale in a film where she had very dark eyeliner. As soon as we hit on that for Penélope, everything changed. It was also very important to have an ample cleavage enhanced by strategically placed medallions, because that's one of the key images of Spanish motherhood, and motherhood is one of the key themes of this film. It was also very important that this woman have an ample arse. The arse is a symbol of optimism. I'm really sorry for those who do not possess a bottom but they can always [...]
