"Tierra y Saliva" is the sound of a world increasingly broken, broken, full of cliffs, stones and footprints, all uphill; are the vibrations of an expedition to the Patagonian soils and enters the thicket of windy whistles. From the beginning with its stomping, its slowed down footsteps, it dodges a pulse, a rhythm of climbing in the face of so much desolation. Steps like blows, like punches in the back and sighs, that are arriving and evaporating. It is the long plains that discomfort with that deep beauty, with those barely noticeable guards to infinity, which also push with their resisted aggressiveness: An exit to the hell of the natural, as if it were the only possible way to cross and reach the beyond. One could understand that post-geology is plagued by natural accidents, but, at this moment it is the digital accidents, the binary bombs that affect the soil of Southern Argentina.

"Tierra y Saliva" es el sonido de un mundo cada vez más quebrado, roto, lleno de riscos, piedras y huellas, todo en subida; son las vibraciones de una expedición hacia los suelos patagónicos y se adentra en la espesura de silbidos ventosos. Desde el comienzo con sus zapatazos, sus pisadas ralentizadas, se esquiva un pulso, un ritmo de escalada ante tanta desolación. Pasos como golpes, como puñetazos en la espalda y suspiros, que van llegando y se van evaporando. Son las largas llanuras las que incomodan con esa profunda belleza, con esas guardas apenas notables hasta el infinito, que también empujan con su resistida agresividad: Una salida al infierno de lo natural, como si fuera la única vía posible para surcar y llegar al más allá. Uno podría entender que la post-geología esté plagada de accidentes naturales, pero, en este momento son los accidentes digitales, las bombas binarias lo que afecta al suelo del Sur de Argentina.
