“Although his chameleonic songs try to escape the monotony, some do not come out well fought in that battle.”
The Cuenca group Letphone, led by Leo Espinoza, published last Friday its most recent study work, entitled Ω (Omega). It is a mixture of sounds whose main references are the dream pop, the synth pop and a variety of voice modulation effects that give it that identity, which positions the band as one of the most prominent in its city.
Available on all digital distribution platforms, composed of eleven songs, with an approximate duration of 40 minutes, Letelefono (@letelefono) in this production takes airs of electronic music from the early 2000s, turn with certain elements of the stream lo-fi. This is reflected in different themes, such as the ballad Hemispheres Y Meridiana, which was released as a single along with a video available on YouTube and which has the fleeting participation of the artist Chloé Silva.
The most characteristic of Ω it’s certainly all mods around the voice of Leo Espinoza, which is modulated in a subtle and accurate way, although aggressiveness can also be noticed in them, as in ElamorXtuamor. Change is arguably the most determining factor in this album, as at times it has surprising variations of rhythms and melodies that make it unpredictable. A balanced sound between lightweight guitars, synthesizers, and drum machines is excellently complemented by this innovative contribution to the indie pop Ecuadorian.
I think that in certain periods it can be perceived as a bit long. Although his chameleonic songs try to escape the monotony, some do not come out well fought in that battle; However, this does not diminish the value of this excellent work, which had a musical production with notorious experimentation on the part of its members.
This 2021 the national music knew how to get up from a very difficult time. Singles, videos, albums, concerts and festivals. All this has been an invaluable contribution to the national culture, which step by step continues to show that nothing can stop it.
