Dark Goth: Matias Aguayo & The Desdemonas – “Cold Fever”
Matias Aguayo & The Desdemonas
“Cold Fever”
Sofarnapolis
Wow, this is so great, so different, not for the weak or 45’s. This is gutsy music by a master. Partly goth, partly electronic, Matias Aguayo attacks music rather than just playing it. Coming from Berlin, this is great music. As his bio says about himself and his band:
The Desdemonas are a 4-piece rock band, fronted by Aguayo (who sings and plays a variety of instruments). It’s also a fictional story about a group of teenagers in a dystopian world (the story will be told in the lyrics, and in cartoons and videos based on Aguayo’s drawings). And it’s of course an album, in which Matias digs deep into some dark forms of rock music which inspired him as a teenager, and brilliantly revisits them in a moody, compelling, post-electronic 2017 style.
This is aural cyberpunk, definitely equality based. I love Aguayo. He challenges you on every front. Listen to him and The Desdemonas. You will be won over, no doubt.
