Argelico

About Me

Formed two years ago in Rayleigh, Essex by schoolfriends Mark, Matt, Dean & Mark, Sublingual Records resident post-rock noisesters Argelico quickly got through a succession of drummers (including Steve Weston of fellow Sublingual band The Nurse Who Loved Me), before Dave made them an offer they couldn't refuse and the defintive Argelico line-up was born. Argelico create beautiful, almost fragile music, with delicate guitar melodies at one moment seemingly fighting for space and then joining together perfectly the next. On the other hand, Argelico also rock...like the proverbial bastards! Just as their soundscapes are burrowing further into your mind they can explode into a raging, storming climax a la GY!BE or Isis. They aim to make music that you can see aswell as hear, and by this they mean tapping into the intrinsically filmic nature of post-rock. Whilst their songs all have a definite meaning or idea behind them, Argelico aren't afraid to let the listener create their own idea's or images about each song, and, in a musical age where so many people are force-fed bands and told what they should think about music by a select few 'taste-makers', that is a refreshing proposition indeed. ............................................................ ................Sublingual Records, 2005.
