about

HR06

Titled after the place where it was born, Amsterdam 211 is the language that Tajak has worked around their short existence as a trio, looking for forms and textures in the way the band relates to its surroundings and goes beyond a genre or a sound movement, this new work is the compilation of different genres that agglomerated in this plate, seem to gradually generate their own language.
As adventurous as this may sound, the band creates tense and lysergic atmospheres based on their own influences, which denote at the first listen, as it is the case of tracks like "Blind Inside (El 20 que me debes)" that draws a blurred and corrosive path through spaces that the band did not used to travel before, or the case of "Wasn’t", a song that usually leaves the mold to fade the canvas where the band used to paint before.
Amsterdam 211, is the clearest manifesto of the moment where the capital's band is at the moment, its vision of the world, and of its interior like individual members, its conception of the music and the pretension of the musical labels, of which they play a recursive role throughout the disc; Taking from what could at times evoke kraut, noise, or the most dirty psychedelia, with this the band tries to compile such disjunctives throughout the disc. An ambitious album, that faces realities of its present, and where they want to work the way of its sound, its optics and its dominion of the territory where they wander.
-Sebastián Franco

Titulado por lugar donde fue gestado, Amsterdam 211, es el propio lenguaje que ha trabajado Tajak alrededor de su corta existencia como trío, buscando formas y texturas sobre la manera en que la banda se relaciona con su alrededor, y pasa más allá de un género o un movimiento sonoro, este nuevo trabajo es el compilado de diversos géneros que aglomerados en esta placa, parecieran poco a poco generar su propio lenguaje.
Por muy aventurado que esto pueda sonar, la banda crea atmósferas tensas y lisérgicas, en base a influencias propias, que denotan a la primera escucha, como es el caso de tracks como "Blind Inside (El 20 que me debes)" que dibuja un sendero borroso y corrosivo por espacios que antes la banda no solía transitar, o el caso de "Wasn’t", una canción que suele salir del molde para desteñir el lienzo donde antes la banda solía pintar, y que contrasta bien con las demás piezas anteriores.
Amsterdam 211, es el manifiesto más claro del momento donde se encuentra la banda capitalina en este momento, su visión del mundo, y de su interior como miembros individuales, su concepción de la música y la pretensión de las etiquetas musicales, de los cuales juegan un papel recursivo en todo el disco; tomando de lo que podría en momentos evocar al kraut más de antaño, el noise, o a la psicodelia más sucia, con esto la banda pretende compilar dichas disyuntivas en todo el disco. Un álbum ambicioso, que afronta realidades de su presente, y hacía donde desean labrar el camino de su sonido, su óptica y su dominio del territorio donde deambulan.
-Sebastián Franco
