The debut album from the Argentinean-based band shows that alternative rock and post-hardcore fusion can continue to work if you execute everything really well. The five-person group has always had a niche for explosive and energetic-sounding alternative rock, with hints of aggressive shoegaze and riot-girl influences. However on ?Lo más cercano a caer? they keep that aggression but put an even heavier hand into the shoegaze bucket with bits of dream pop thrown in. Everything from the anthemic and memorable opener to the Paramore influence banger of ?Asfixia?, there is something for all those craving 90s heavy alternative rock. Although the album is a bit short, and there is a dip in quality in the middle, there is a lot to love here.
