Jovenabuelo - Ni​ñ​o Sol (2009)

The second and final album from this band from Chile.

The band was a quartet with a lineup of drums, bass, guitars and keyboards.

Their Ya Listo Chao debut album from 2007 caught my attention with their Latin - American take on post rock. It indeed a good album.

The band returned again two years later with this name-your-price Bandcamp album.

The music is still post-rock. The music is a bit more ambient and the band has taken a more mainstream direction here. It is still post rock.

There is plenty of piano here and the tempo is pretty slow and pedestrian at times. Far too pedestrian. The music is pretty dull and uninspiring throughout these forty-two minutes.

There is not a single minute of good music here and this album is a major step backwards from the debut album. 

This album is a borderline turkey but a couple of decent details and melodies saves this album from being the object of a stuffed turkey dinner.

1.5 points
