Dylan Lana presents “Dos Metros” his third album

Dylan Lana is a singer and songwriter from Cordoba who during 2019 and 2020 met with different musicians to shape the new release “Dos Metros”, soon to be released in November.

As for the recent history of the artist, we can see two albums (released on CD and vinyl) and an EP. Each of these pieces is essential when it comes to appreciating the musical identity of this promising singer-songwriter.

The hype raised from the announcement of his forthcoming album has been arriving from different latitudes, since Dylan Lana has toured and visited the stages of places such Buenos Aires, Santa Fe, Córdoba, San Luis, San Juan, Mendoza, La Pampa, Rio Negro and Neuquén. Leaving the domestic sphere, we can mention his two European tours in Germany, Austria, Holland, the Czech Republic and Spain.

From Boombox we have had the opportunity to listen to some songs that will be part of this album. It is about "Driving for Pellegrini", "I was born to not believe" and "The last winter sun". In each one of them you can identify clear influences of punk rock, alternative rock and even glimpses of Brit Pop environments. Pieces that more than promise, fulfill their mission and leave us their melodies tattooed on the retina of memory by a long time.

Without a doubt, “Dos Metros” will mark a new musical moment for the artist, who consolidates his own style in each piece. The launch will be available from November 11 in all digital stores, not to be missed!

MARCELO CATALDO: A DIGITAL APPROACH TO SONGWRITTING

Rain, melting cassettes and cityscapes - some of the ingredients in this tasty release.

Marcelo Cataldo is an artist from La Plata, Buenos Aires. He turned the page to offer us a new work in which his sonic identity is closer to the song, although rooted in retrowave and related electronic styles. Without straying from the sound that characterizes it, this new offering offers us highly danceable songs, hypnotic beats, layers of well-crafted digital sounds and a remarkable lyrical aspect.

Of course, Cataldo's career doesn't start with this album. In his more than ten years of experience, he stands out for being the co-founder of the DecimuLabs studio, with which the author has made works, among which the soundtracks of The Kirlian Frequency (Netflix series), Turn Right (video game) and History stand out. de Lo Oculto (Film by Cristian Ponce).

The producer from La Plata does not stop and a week after the release of his album "Estados", he premieres the video clip of the broadcast cut of this album, "Nostalgia". Within audiovisual production, we can appreciate landscapes and situations that evoke the mood that triggers this composition.

“There is a place that is only in my dreams, nothing else is there but it is no longer what it was or will be. If I could ever go back there, to look at the evocation, it would flood my eyes with nostalgia” says the first verse of this apt and accurate song that tries to externalize the subjectivity of the author. The sound environment is adequate to express such a punctual feeling and the fact that it is the track that closes “Estados” makes it the ideal hook to lead us to repeat the entire album.

As for the recent study plate, “Estados” takes place in six vibrant compositions, full of emotion and subjectivity, each one of these parts surgically put in place to give a very successful feeling of continuity. It was edited by the DecimuLabs studio, with which Marcelo Cataldo works on the music for various projects, including the Netflix series “La Frenntación Kirlian”. The aesthetic part was worked by Hernán Bengoa and represents an important visual support that ends up building the meaning of "States". In the year that the bodies moved away (necessarily), we have to reconnect with dance and our physical existence, and music is always a great companion.

If we have to imagine and propose new dance floors, why not give that task to new sounds? That is probably where the promised study record comes in and where its importance lies.

"Estados" is found on all streaming platforms and we can only cross our fingers and hope that the situation allows us to appreciate a live set by this promising and prolific artist.
