el tubo elástico – La marcha elástica de los enanitos
el tubo elástico – La marcha elástica de los enanitos is available at Bandcamp.
by Walter Price
It’s been a bit of time since Spain’s modern-day prog-rockers el tubo elástico released their powerful IMPALA EP. But that’s not to say that this outfit has been laying low since then. This past April, the Jerez outfit dropped a magical and sprawling 16 minute + juggernaut that’s a masterfully layered beauty. It has an open road, windows down, and all the world’s worries faded by the breeze vibe. And with each and every stream, a new twist will intrigue the listener.
“La marcha elástica de los enanitos” [The elastic march of the dwarfs], lands someplace btw Pat Metheny, King Crimson, and Animals As Leaders and it’s as technical and weighty and as it is vast in all aspects of reference. And you can stream this prog stunner and the IMPALA masterclass EP, now at the GTC.
