Miles Davis said that “it’s not the notes you play, it’s the notes you don’t play”. It’s when one is silent that sound suddenly becomes the most meaningful, the most necessary—moments of reflection or restraint punctuate the importance of what’s there versus what’s not. This is the case not only in music, but in history and in daily life. Framed in this way, a band named Silent suddenly seems like less of a paradox and more of an awareness. This is especially the case when considering their album title, “A Century of Abuse”, of which one could draw many connections between oppression and silence.

Created in Baja California, Silent’s music takes on various aural approaches. Interludes bring forth hypnotic sounds that have an almost cinematic quality, all heartbeat and boots on cement rhythms with sunsets on a desert landscape distortion. Other tracks take on a more fast-paced approach, sometimes even crossing barriers into catchy, surf-like guitar riffs. While Andrea Varela’s drumming, Rodo Ibarra’s (Maniqui Lazer) bass, and Alejandro Lara’s guitar lines do vary quite a bit depending on the track, Jung Sing’s (Maniqui Lazer, All Leather) vocals are a common thread throughout, consistently emitting honeyed grief: soothing but woeful, desperate and yet in no rush, perhaps calling to mind something in the spirit of a Mexicali-reincarnated Nick Cave.

Rancho Shampoo and La Indian Gold Orchestra are a music sect comprised of Rubén Alonso Tamayo, Rodo Ibarra, Hernán Franco, David Bautista Toledo, Julián González, Valentín Torres, Gerardo Montoya, Cristian Franco and led by the shaman Rancho Shampoo. This project was born in a village on the now mythical Sangrado de la Panocha Mountain near the Almondroids and Piedra Anclada.

They united forces to abolish the musical wickedness that is planted at the edge of the river which produces the fruit that only they can recollect with their magical insights. Rancho Shampoo and la Indian Gold Orchestra will make everything prosper and the unbelievers will run away, just like they did at Sodom and Gomorrah. The ones who dare to look at their eyes will turn into a statue of salt because their ancestor Rayovac protects their sacred path. Remember, the ways of the wicked always end terribly.

El Vuelo del Golondrino (The Flight of the Baby Swallow), the debut album from Rancho Shampoo and La Indian Gold Orchestra, will make the sages open their ears and increase their knowledge and the erudite will acquire the ability to speak with the hawk.

Be brave and strong because the storm is yet to come.

This album is a co-release between Static Discos and Indian Gold Records
