Nuuro, Reddest Ruby

Hace cinco años Alejandro Ghersi comenzó a producir y regalar sus canciones en MP3 hasta que éstas consiguieron darle la vuelta al continente americano en distintas escenas y círculos sociales, en gran parte debido a la calidad y versatilidad de su trabajo, pues éste desde un comienzo ha oscilado entre varios géneros musicales que van desde el IDM, el drum & bass, la indietronica, el shoegazer electrónico, y muy, muy a menudo, el pop.

Nuuro, luego de haber debutado con el LP “All Clear” a través del sello mexicano Soundsister, cuatro años luego, por fin decidió autoeditarse su segunda larga duración titulada “Reddest Ruby”, en la que sin buscarle mucho, podemos percibir una madurez abismal entre su primer trabajo y éste. Algo que quizá se deba principalmente a que desde el año pasado este chico dejó su ciudad natal Caracas por una vida menos pasiva en Brooklyn.

Cual sea el caso, “Reddest Ruby” es una obra de arte completa, musicalmente y gráficamente (contiene 7 hermosas piezas realizadas por el artista Nikolay Saveliev), incluso, trae consigo guardado un poema bastante complejo y muy bien logrado del que surge todo el concepto del disco. En fin, como se habrán dado cuenta seguimos sin aliento, y a continuación, descubrirán por qué.

Esta nueva joya ya se encuentra disponible a la venta en iTunes.

Todosantos, Acid Girlzzz EP

What Alberto Stangarone, Ernesto Pantin and Mariana Martin have in common besides their unique sound, is that each of their current members are highly notorious in Caracas' indie scene since the early 2000's. They've only released one LP entitled Aeropuerto, and that independent recording got them great reviews and gigs all over the world, including TV. Barcelona, New York, Austin, Caracas or Bogotá, it doesn't matter where they are, people dance, because their language is understood world-wide: FIESTA! FIESTA! FIESTA! You know what we mean?

Hit their mega bass with a quirky booty shake, 'cause Todosantos' grimey acid wave house and "tukky bass" is nothing we've heard before, though you can easily guess by listening tunes like "Pao!", that sometime during their NY tour last year, they took a shit load of happy acid and danced with white kids at a couple of Ed Banger's parties. You might consider doing that sometime too, you know, before you hit that ugly 35...

Acid Girlzzz is an audiovisual EP that contains 3 pods (or audiovisual & portable tracks) in mp4 & DVD format to be reproduced on your iPod, iTunes, DVD players or DVD mixers for VJ's. Heavy Bass & powerfull club tracks to set the room on fire.

You should also know what Todosantos re-released Acid Girlzzz EP through Flamin Hotz' Records in a packaging that includes marbeled colored vinyl, a DVD containing 3 videopods & high quality mp3s, 3-D artwork with custom 3-D glasses, and remixes by Cousin Cole, System D-128, Leif, and Cardopusher! Be sure to get that one too because THE VERSIONS ON THIS RELEASE ARE DIFFERENT than the ones featured on the Flamin Hotz' release, they are much more dancefloor guided and you can listen to them at their MySpace.

Nuuro, All Clear

Alejandro Ghersi is a 16 year old wiz-kid from Venezuela that might as well represent what young kids have been waiting for. Cute, yet intelligent, electronic pop well structured songs, sung by a stunning voice that will shock older audiences too.

He's not 80's influenced, but he sure knows how to sing and make any song sound beautiful, like back in the days. For some reason, he makes us think of Morrissey or Ben Gibbard singing over beats done by Psapp, Mu-ziq or Yellotone.

Youthful and sophisticated electronic glitchery crafted for melancholic pop songs about high school passion and loss. Far from being naive, Venezuela's new poster boy writes downhearted stories meant for nostalgic souls.

Nuuro previously released In Transit EP in (2005) and has already featured an exclusive track on Little Darla Has a Treat for You v.24 (Darla) compilation this summer. All Clear is our first physical release through Soundsister Records and you can already order it at Darla and Juno.
