Following his first album 'Journal' , Hector Merida is back with a brand new jam!
His second album gives us a a look through the lens at all the makes life roll... presenting an audio soundscape of Hector Merida's 'Pictures'
Kicking off with the electronic soother 'Forgetting You' .. and moving through a musical journey of chilled grooves, live horns & keys, and vocal snapshots laid over deep moving house beats.
The album sways and slides between genres' never settling on one place for too long. whipping you from hypnotic electronica, to straight up classy house, with stop offs at drum & bass , rocking leftfield rhythms & even cool jazz along the way.
Like the lovechild of an affair between Radiohead, Todd Terry & LTJ Bukem, this LP will light up your life for years to come
Dimitri Kechagias review: Baroque records presents a very special album and definitely must have for any follower of quality electronica music that is open to influences and infusions from wide variety of styles. Hector Merida and his album Pictures has as a mission to inspire and widen our sonic horizons and surprise your hearing pleasantly. Hector Merida translates through sensitive and deeply sensual music, the emotions that he feels when he looks in the pictures of his life. Pictures is an album that talks straight to your heart because of its wide variety of styles and sounds that are mixed up in the most sensitive and professional way. Hypnotic minimal grooves co-exist with beatless soundscapes, emotional synths co-exist with funky guitar licks, jazzy overtones co-exist with acid house and retro touches, drum n bass travelling sounds play around with middle east infused melodies. Hector presents his concept album with beginning and an end that must be enjoyed in its wholeness and not as separate tracks. Can you spot yourself in those mental Pictures too? Love iT
