Super Quercus – El Refugio (2018) – Argentine sound brings the rock origins to the Spanish language

"El Refugio" is the second album from the Argentine trio Super Quercus, a stoner rock sound with a lightness pop mood. This album ratifies the quality of rock sung in Spanish, regardless of whether it's direct rock with aggressive distortions, whether it's curvaceous with psychedelia traits, or whether is whatever rock branch Super Quercus plays.

The sound of "El Refugio" goes back decades and explains the origins of our modern heavy rock. To feel the vibrations from the initial chords of Interés is to access the seventies in its authentic musical simplicity. It was with this kind of riff that a whole genre was born. The vocals, however, are more impolitic and calm that invest in emotion. Some songs, as in El Aparecido and Caminata de Hombres Tristes, bid in a clear approach with echoed passages that refer to alternative radio rock from the 80's. A well inserted funk rock tinge is heard on Andar and more discreetly in Armando el Juego. But what Super Quercus knows to do better is to go down on a heavy rock, and in this front tracks like Semana Especial and the closing El Último Paso are the greatest highlights of the album. The latter involves in such a way that the temporal sensation of its 8 minutes duration are compressed in a few pleasant minutes.

Once again the Argentine rock putts himself to the front and presents a sound that embraces the origins of the seventies, but with a pinch of eighties, sung in spanish. It's hard to bring something new into a 40-year-old sound, but the timeless quality of Super Quercus is one of its most modern qualities.
