Our Take

If Pitchfork reviewed this album, it might look something like this:

EL HOMBRE TRAJEADO's latest offering, "Fast Diagonal," is a whirlwind of experimental sounds and off-kilter rhythms that will leave even the most seasoned music aficionados scratching their heads in confusion (and perhaps a hint of admiration).

From the opening track "Blazin' in the Void" to the haunting closer "Farewell, Atlantis," the band takes listeners on a sonic rollercoaster ride through a labyrinth of eclectic influences and genre-bending melodies. One moment you're nodding your head to a funky bassline, the next you're being lured in by the hypnotic drone of a synth.

The standout track, "Neon Mirage," is a masterclass in controlled chaos, with its frenetic tempo changes and eerie vocal loops creating a sense of unease that is equal parts exhilarating and unsettling. It's the kind of song that demands your attention, and refuses to let go until the very last note has faded into the ether.

Overall, "Fast Diagonal" is a challenging listen, to say the least. But for those willing to dive headfirst into its strange and beguiling world, the rewards are plentiful. EL HOMBRE TRAJEADO may not be a household name (yet), but with albums like this under their belt, it's only a matter of time before they become the toast of the underground music scene.
