No song ever moves too far toward the aforementioned hard rock - that would have been simply too inelegant - but reggae turns to ska punk reinvented from scratch, and the waltz is swept by a tender wave of strings pitted against a rough, unadorned guitar texture to sound like a punk wedding. In any case, it's very relaxed on the surface, kicking off each song with spot-on reproduction of those chilled-out styles, such as the Caribbean vibe of the opener or the lulling waltzy drone of "Si Te Vas." However, as the tunes unfold - and they get ample time for that - the band slowly ratchets up the intensity, which means the guitars grow ever louder and the vocals, while never ceasing to be dorky, become quite commanding (for all intents and purposes, this seems a planned contrast). Extremoduro may have built a reputation as a quasi-metal outfit, but their 2011 release is one very laid-back album, its lengthy pieces centered around reggae, blues, and lounge jazz, though that is something of a trick, as song titles like "Tango Suicida" (yup, "Suicide Tango") testify. Hard rock? It's anything but on Material Defectuoso. Purchase and download this album in a wide variety of formats depending on your needs.
