Da Souza - Futbol davantguarda

Review by Gia Volterra de Saulnier

Da Souza's album Futbol davantguarda is a must-listen for fans of indie rock and post-punk. The Barcelona-based band delivers a high-energy, guitar-driven sound that is both catchy and complex. The album's title, which translates to "Avant-garde Football," is a nod to the band's love of the sport, but also reflects their innovative approach to music.

From the opening track, "Carrer de la Marina," the listener is swept up in a whirlwind of distorted guitars, driving basslines, and propulsive rhythms. The vocals, sung in Catalan, are passionate and emotive, adding to the intensity of the music. The album's standout tracks include "La Plaça," with its anthemic chorus, and "El Món És Un Balcó," which features a haunting guitar riff and a memorable sing-along chorus.

Throughout the album, Da Souza demonstrates a mastery of dynamics and a willingness to experiment with different textures and sounds. The instrumental track "El Mite de Sísif" showcases the band's ability to create a moody, atmospheric sound, while "El Nostre Moment" is a more upbeat, danceable track that is sure to get crowds moving.

Summary by Gia Volterra de Saulnier

Futbol davantguarda is a highly enjoyable and impressive album from a band that deserves wider recognition. Da Souza's blend of punk energy, indie rock sensibility, and Catalan identity make for a unique and exciting listening experience.
