Los Siquicos Litoraleños - Radio Siquica

Score: 8.4 

After a couple of compilations and EPs, the Argentinian band Los Siquicos Litoraleños releases a fascinating experiment where they decide to take old tapes from an exctinct radio from Curuzú Cuatiá, Corrientes and mix them into two separate sides. They stretch and blend the sounds in absurdly amorphous ways and, besides the excessive outlandishness, the results come as entertaining (funny at times, moving at others) but constantly challenging and jaw-dropping. It's outré sound-collage art by and for the poor; it's one of the first attempts at creating psychedelic chamamé and, for all its courage and sassy playfulness, it widely succeeds.
