Mi Cosa De Resistance -
Tomorrow I´ll Be Part Of The Rain
Mi Cosa De Resistance is an interesting project with lots of history and background attached to it. The only member of this project being Fernando Perales, is also a member of an old Argentinian cult band called Reynols. An experimental noise/avant-garde band which have been in existence since 1993, with the other 40 albums released. This project does not work around noise or extreme sounds as of such, more in the dreamy drone-ambient department. So far he has released around 15 albums with this project, on various Bandcamp labels. They haven´t been listed in Discogs...yet. But nonetheless, this album might just be (I think) one of the latest of his releases. Out on an already familiar label called Elm Records (see former review Now Sleep). Out as a nice looking tape, a transparent tape with print on and a nice cassette box with a slide-on jacket. A 6 track album, being around 42 minutes in total.
The first track Invisible Night opens with a melancholic ambient techno-dub´ish wipe (without the rhythms!). After days with hot temperatures, there will be heavy thunderclouds, and all you can do (in the sultry heat) is to wait for the first raindrops to fall on the warm concrete. That kind of calming feel. Very atmospheric and very warm sort of feel, and with a nice depth to it.
The second track Unwritten Books gets being into a bit more... timeless and weightless. A hypnotic tone travels between your speakers while ethereal sound effects gently touch your inmost senses.
The third track Murmuring Leaves completely slows everything down to the gentle sound of rain-drops falling down on leaves inside a forest (or the sound of raindrops being heard while being inside a tent). Melancholic drones move mysteriously in the background, while a looped and slowed-down string-like instrument gives it all an evocative sound to it all.
With the Fourth track Fade To Silence, the albums get just a bit darker. A sort of mysterious fog moving through a complete noiseless swamp in the early morning, thinking back to a classic Italian dark-ambient drone-act called I Burn here. Wery beautiful made (if you should ask me).
Small Boats being the fifth track on the album, gives you that exact feeling of seeing something distant (like small boats). Your brain tells you what it is, but your eyes don't reveal what it is (other than a distant shaped blur). Looped ambient-drone with a melancholic dreamy touch, love it when it is well made!
The last track Evening Tides wraps it all up into a gentle ethereal package. A decent way to end this album BUT... also the least interesting track on the album.
And that is where the album ends. A lovely mesmerizing journey into microscopic dimensions where time stands still. Highly recommended for anyone being thirsty for beautiful aesthetic escapism.
