Slide of emotions
Arima is a project by Paule Bilbao. He says he has created it with the aim of bringing his emotional and sentimental needs to light in a different way. Songs. Thus, the four songs of Arima's first album lead the listener to personal and special journeys, with changes of intensity and rhythm, with intensity and tension in some moments, and with the softness of other moments, calm and ethereal. In some passages you can hear nice melodies, enchanting, and other parts are very strong, violent. A kind of emotional slide, after all. Emotions overflow through the melodies that Paul sings and his cries and howls, with reverberation and with the help of guitar, bass and drums. The guitar works with force, distortion and also delicacy, making nice drawings and tweaks, highlighting the solid, precise and consistent base that make up the bass and drums. The members of the group have worked very carefully on the adaptation and rounding of songs, with details, feedback and other noises.
They recognize that they influence post-rock, dream-pop and shoegaze, but they bind them together and assimilate them perfectly, to touch their own way and pull out what they have inside.
Metamorphosis is a 10-inch vinyl disk, but songs can also be heard on the CD that is in the disk folder. Paule Bilbao (guitar and voice), Josu González (bass) and Gontzal Bilbao (drums) have worked for this album with the following colleagues: Karlos Osinaga Kiroldegia (recording, blending, production, mastering and voice) and Ibon Bilbao Topo (voice). Also, Paul himself has made the design and layout of the work, and the contents of the album have been dressed and composed.
Paule has been part of the Good Afternoon Commander group, Joshua plays in India with Feathers and Gontzal, Ama Say and Who? He has been part of groups and currently plays with the La-La Perez. The album all three of them have made with Arima is nice, exciting. You should listen to the songs more than once and, if possible, live in a public session of the group.
