The oozing synths and intricate layering on Horizonte Lied’s latest single, the electronic marvel of ‘El Dia Despues’, make it a gripping release that’s rich and full of detail, if not for everyone.
A band based in Monterrey, Mexico, Horizonte Lied are specialized in alternative, electronic rock that incorporates dark synth and rhythm textures for results that are usually alien, organic, and experimental. The veteran band was formed in 1992 by Alex Ezert who sings and produces, accompanied by Bernardo Garza, responsible for synths and percussion.
‘El Dia Despues’ is the title of their latest single. An intricate construct of musical layers that are consistently throbbing with a dark energy that’s just infectious. What first hits the listener is probably the off-kilter vocals, buried in the nuanced mix. The music of ‘El Dia Despues’ is also gripping. A journey in noise and shoegaze, the song slithers around most of the time, leaving space for the vocal story to unfurl before a hook kicks in with a conventional beat that rights all the wrongs and transforms the whole arrangement into a sweetly addictive foray into adventurous genres and challenging soundscapes.
Horizonte Lied prove that they are unafraid of challenging norms with their latest single, the infectious and bold ‘El Dia Despues’.
