CMU Approved
Approved: Jibóia – Ankara
By Andy Malt | Published on Wednesday 27 January 2016
Jibóia, aka musician Óscar Silva, first appeared in this column in 2014, ahead of the release of his ‘Balav’ EP. For that release he collaborated with fellow synth manipulator Ana Miró. For his next effort, ‘Masala’, which is out on 8 Feb, he’s teamed up with drummer Ricardo Martin.
The first single from the record, ‘Ankara’, features the same spinning psychedelic synths recognisable from his earlier work. However, the addition of Martin’s heavy and hypnotic drumming drives Silva’s sound into darker areas than before. This is music that picks you up and carries you, rather than waiting for you to follow it.
