Garage rock en espanol

On its newest release, “Tan Bajo,” Davila 666 often sounds furious and out of control. Fortunately, the band still manages to throw in the hooks among all the fuzz.

First, it should be mentioned that all of the Puerto Rican band’s songs are in Spanish. For people who focus more on lyrics than the music (and don’t know Spanish), that might be a deal breaker. Although occasionally frustrating, most garage rock doesn’t have particularly insightful lyrics, so there’s no reason to assume this would be different.

“Tan Bajo” displays a huge range of styles, from fuzz pop reminiscent of The Jesus and Mary Chain on “Yo Seria Otro” to girl-group harmonies on “¡Diablo!”

Davila 666’s main failing is an occasional sense of monotony. Some of the songs start to run together and not in a good way. Maybe it’s just because they don’t have lyrics to distinguish one from another.

“Tan Bajo” is still an exciting album, even if you have no idea what the band is saying.
