Over the past Three years with songwriter, singer and multi instrumentalist Jamie Andrew at the helm, Druid Fluids has become a must see in the South Australian music scene. What began as a three piece Floyd/Hendrix/Beatles treat has grown and matured to a feast of soundscapes flavoured with a melange of jazz, pop and exotic ingredients. Druid Fluids have now seriously embraced the recording studio with an eye to pushing beyond the limitations of guitar based songs to an experience which builds upon their early roots, but is not limited by them. To hear them is to consume a captivating elixir of the strange and the familiar arranged in sometimes surprising juxtaposition. Turn off your mind, relax and float downstream... LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO and Toño Sánchez, the brains behind these spectral sounds, had a deep commitment to doom and gloom, at least in their first recording. Songs about the decay you could breathe in the air of Mexico City: Police brutality, urban ghost stories, suicidal notes, and the loneliness and sadness a sensible person suffers in an environment that keeps driving you to desensitization and madness. A true Chilango gothic masterpiece, LAS ÁNIMAS DEL CUARTO OBSCURO’s first record is an ode to Mexican youthfulness. It’s the emotional journey of a youngster who fights for their existence in a country where tradition rules and difference is loathed.
