What is art if not sublimated anguish, seems to endorse Stalker Virus. A song about the infinite Pandemonium of existence: me against myself, the binomial modernity and neurosis as the seal of disaster. Everything in Stalker Virus is a state of stalking, to persist in listening is like scratching a welt. And when in the song the trip could be calmed down, the drama of the notes is unleashed, the vertigo of those melodies that are waiting for disasters.
The state of stalking is undoubtedly atavistic to man. Evolution requires defense mechanisms where the distractor is the enemy. Any carelessness pays dearly, hence the construction of defense through stalking. Life today does not change so much, although in general there is a deceptive sensation of "guaranteed' life, we know that it is not so. Life in Pandemic takes us back to our origins, yes, we are weak. And only one constant is valid: stalking. The sordid life of the one who gets neither peace nor rest. Reversing this situation is utopia, but the task of humanism is freedom, emancipation from conditioning. Once again, art may be rough but it will be liberating. Stalker Virus promoted the expansion of the Band, the encouragements here will not be here section well avenue, but sonorous actions in forceful action. The unusual sound of the JINASH, of Marcos Miranda sends us to the mystical gesture, here challenged by the tenor saxophones of Barret and Folgarolas and the primordial flute of Portillo. Gonzalez weaves and proposes the sieve where the Stalker Virus are exchanged.

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
