In Otros Sapos there is no human dilemma. The instruments behave as beings that weave their words into crucibles of light that fold time, giving rise to the unimaginable. A parallel, inorganic universe that cries out, manifesting its otherness. The obsession of the mechanical bass and the ubiquitous octopus of the multipercussion, harangue the magic of the summoned subjects, who run as if everything depended on "them", as if there were no other world than this one: the unreal one.
"Continues sapo. The band is summoned to the headquarters, what a bear all bland. Appealing to the kindly, here no one gives in and I quote: everything that goes up, goes up more. - Sappho! said Sifo, I alone with Mari Juana dance, and you toad, just blow. A whole Zipo cried Zapa... as long as it's not Zeta, Sifo replied. That's good enough for me, says Sosi, -this is silk! But now Sosi sweats for the zape of doubt." GP

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
