One would have to go back to Cine Negro (Banda Elástica's workhorse) to immerse oneself in an aspect that was part of the Elásticos' concerts for decades. The symmetrical obsessive discourse of the bass prepares the sonorous characters to jump to the sonorous moment that also became a scenic moment. La Elástica took here not only the stage but also the capacity and not only the musician but also the acting character, the performer to everything! But that is history that in its last period, the Pandemonium, reincarnates in Fase 7. Sensation of siege, intrigue of each one of the characters that here intervene a sonorous space governed by the electric one of González, who also could baptize this hit like Black Cinema in Fase 7.

The band with their third album “Quiet Euphoria” presents the magical alchemy of surreal atmospheres, lightness, and jazz flavor to reach its stylistic and expressive peak. There is room for everything: experimentation, delicacy, and power, they all manage to coexist in this album with a thousand faces, very tight and full of feeling in a fully jazz-rock sound. newdawnofprog
This rather astounding record can't really be categorized - musically, it's so full of everything and so original that a short description is impossible. It is superbly played. The words are FANTASTIC and I would have chosen The Butcher as my favourite if the app had allowed me to ;-) Tom Landon

C. Diab describes “Exit Rumination” as “a sonic exorcism,” and its dark, swelling songs are equal parts catharsis and tension. Bandcamp New & Notable Mar 26, 2018
