On the debut EP from the Argentinian band of Narcoiris, the group puts forth a blend of heavy rock with bluesy psychedelic leanings, letting the strength of their grooves carry most of the songs. Tasty string tones and a good amount of interplay between the musicians strengthen the experience, but despite running just six songs long, the music starts feeling somewhat repetitive about halfway through the set. There’s enough little twists to help keep it from feeling like a drag (and moments like the injection of cello-sounding strings in “Remoto” shows the band wanting to expand their flavors), and as a first release, there’s some stumbles to be expected, so on the whole it’s not too bad, just a little undercooked.
