Guatemalan alternative rock band Fraaek run to a dramatic conclusion on "Parálisis del Sueño"












AP Track Review

Fraaek is an alternative rock band from Guatemala and their latest offering, the beautifully malleable Parálisis del Sueño has a softness despite it's undeniable emotional urgency. It pulsates with percussive hard edges. The beat feels rushed pulling the powerful bass tones that swing dynamically. The guitar lines are tightly wrapped and yet, the passionate (sometimes hushed) vox carry a tenderness within the progressively wrought rock motif. The feel of the song surprisingly shifts during the last quarter of the song. An outro that flips the emotional edges too. For me, it moves from a sprint to a quick walk away, from a dramatic conclusion to a smooth escape.
