When you discover and fall in love with a band or artist you’d never heard, their music can often become an unexpected yet somehow completely essential part of your life. It can feel like they’re your “little secret” and, every now and then, you want to keep them all to yourself.
Having been there and done that, I’ve found the joys of sharing your favourite music with friends, family, and really anyone willing to listen, far outweigh the temptation to guard it like a hidden treasure. With that in mind, please welcome the Mexican instrumental outfit Kopernico and their highly intoxicating new album ‘Hacia las Estrellas’.
A twelve-track offering that showcases a seriously gifted bunch of musicians, ‘Hacia las Estrellas’ is a mesmerizing blend of dreamy post-rock with splashes of electro goodness sprinkled throughout.
Singles like ‘Artificial Love’ and ‘Asia’ act as gateways to a vast and cinematic soundscape you won’t want to leave, while other gems like ‘Luces Mensajeras’ and the record’s epic closer serve as confirmation that Kopernico clearly understand how to turn melodies into pure, unspoken storytelling.
Truthfully, I could go on for days about the genius that is ‘Hacia las Estrellas’, but your best bet is to hit play and let the music speak for itself. Just sublime!
