Letargo is the opening track from Salvana’s brand new album Reversia. The five-minute piece introduces the band’s latest material with both excitement and emotion, showcasing the Spanish group’s remarkable musicianship. As always, Salvana excels at crafting rich atmospheres and evoking deep feelings in an effortless and rather organic way.
A thrilling journey from start to finish, Letargo carries the post rock and shoegaze influences that have become hallmarks of the band’s sound. More atmospheric than lethargic, the track builds gradually toward a powerful climax around the three-quarter mark. It serves as a striking introduction to their debut album where the mellow textures of shoegaze and the expansive energy of post rock clash in a beautiful battle. In the end, there’s no need to pick a winner, because the result is simply enticing.
