Bunbury's strident vocal is accompanied by Mellotron, melodic guitars, shimmering mini-Moog, cymbals, and layered reverb, followed by del Campo's shining solo. The mood lifts in 'La Constante,' a redemptive love song that pledges commitment, dedication, and gratitude. It prefaces the atmospheric, squalling 'My Libertad,' where Bunbury proclaims his right to the absolute freedom of an animal after a lifetime of pain. Its drama is tempered by the kiss of flamenco. 'Bartelby (Mis Dominios)' is an existential, angsty rocker whose protagonist drops out of society after completing his duties as a husband, father, and taxpayer to observe the foolish world from his watchtower. It's ultimately the light before the darkness as the moody, threatening synth pulse in 'Al Filo de un Cuchillo' claims the center, only to be countered by spiky guitars, noir-ish saxophone, and Bunbury intoning the lyrics with a taut passion that borders on dread until the gorgeous chorus delivers him. 'Lugares Comunes, Frases Haches' is almost schizophrenic, moving between anthemic guitar rock and angular synth grooves. Check the bleating, distorted tenor sax that competes with the guitars and drums for dominance on opener 'La Ceremonia de Confusion.' 'Cuna de Cain' weds the horn to shuffling breakbeats, sweeping keyboards, and lilting guitars as Bunbury wails from the depths. The listener cannot help but be wrapped inside Bunbury's personal, sometimes harrowing sound world. The second part is delivered almost exclusively in the first person it's even darker, but also vulnerable. The first reflects Bunbury as a social critic who rails on everything from crime, murder, and mediocrity to culture and politics in swaggering rock & roll terms. In addition, Bunbury, who produced the date himself in Los Angeles, also employs an army of vintage keyboards including mini-Moog, Prophet and the Juno 60 synthesizers, and a Mellotron.Įxpectativas is split into halves. It is a primary instrument in this mix - uncommon in Spanish rock. Backed by Los Santos Inocentes, the Spanish shapeshifter has constructed an album around the addition of Santiago de Campo's distinctive saxophone playing. The two pre-release singles, the rowdy swaggering 'La Actitud Correcta' and the cinematic midtempo ballad 'Parecemos Tontos' (as well as the fantastic Jose Girl-directed 'in-the-studio' YouTube video), prepared fans for one of Bunbury's most ambitious, intense, and soulful records.
