AP Track Reviews
Corcega is an alternative rock band out of Quilmes, Buenos Aires, Argentina and the track Weird Tales (from a single of the same name) is so many things but absolutely not normal. I might mention right now that I hate normalcy. The single art work has an appropriate "1940's Pulp Sci-Fi meets Horror" look and their sound sort of strays that way minus the 1940's. Weird Tales has a seriously bedroom dreamy sway, hints of lounge blended into the art / glam feel. Cristian De Fazio croons in an intensely sincere way even when singing about hot pink raptors, weird tales of vampires, and craters on Mars. The delicious guitar sounds courtesy of Cristobal Torre and De Fazio bathed in minor 7th jazz rock / sock hop punk tones and the utterly sleepy but sexy bass and drums downbeat by Fernando Peiretti and Federico Villanueva give the whole trippy affair a hallucinatory feel.
Corcega does have big ideas with sharp (and surreal) edges. Indeed. Not normal at all.
