Ruina Circular is the debut EP by Mexico City’s darkwave band Espejo Convexo. Tasteful ethereal wave constructed around clever drum machine beats, guitars riffs drowned in feedback, and delicate voices sometimes hanging around like whispers.
RIYL: Chasms, Love Spirals Downwards, Cadaver Em Transe, The Chameleons UK and Cranes.
FCC CLEAN!
Recommended Tracks: 1, 2, 3, 4, 5
1. (4:05) ** Color del Cielo – Classic Los Angeles darkwave sound here. Well constructed and just beautiful.
2. (5:08) ** El Miedo – Ambitious track with a couple of cool rhythmic changes. More traditional darkwave structures here.
3. (2:32) *** Relación – Upbeat gothic journey. Gloomy skies ahead.
4. (3:45) **La Fuga – Semi-instrumental medium-up tempo exercise in classic darkwave aesthetics. Impressive.
5. (4:14) * Fire – Medium tempo recording filled with melancholy and guitar distortion.
6. (3:53) Ruina Circular – Medium tempo dark ballad. Moving.
