Asturtralla

Fame Sidre y Rockangaita

(Self-issued / Musicasturiana)

"Hunger, Cider, and Rock-Gaita" is a rough English approximation of the disc's Asturian-language title. In Spain's northern region, one smilingly learns, time-honored folk airs and head-through-window, rip'n'stitch maraudings stand tall in shoulder-to-shoulder posture. ("Rockangaita" being a mash-up whose last five letters are Asturian bagpipes' label. Add in anarchic Steve Jones swipes, and the total is impressively singular.) Pretty melodies entrance, only to be followed by grafitti chording gone ga-ga. This is the first time I've heard equilibrium erupt.
