4 stars Look at the sleeve pic, that notifies us of their violent soundscape like this strangled cat. A Colombian act MULA have signed an official contract with a French label Dur et Doux with their second full-length album entitled "Resiliente" which has quite a resilient sound impression like the title. They are characterized by incredibly noisy avantgarde jazz filled with deep heavy tone, and upon this album "Resiliente" we can feel their vital creativity and productivity. Yes, as if they had expected such a tough current situation, they declare that all of us should live our lives full of vivacity in this creation. Their creation is flooded with fuzzy, dissonant guitar allegation, complex but tight rhythmic establishment, and quirky saxophone fireworks, and massive electronic disconcertment, from the beginning until the end ...

The first shot "Hija" has such excessive violent elements. Heavy guitar fuzz, exaggerated rhythmic bases, irregular melodic shower, and improvisational saxophone explosion, all are eccentric but comfortable for the audience. Their crazy plays drive us mad obviously. In the latter part such a chaos is discharged via the mixed combination of all self- assertive instruments. What a sound dinosaur. The following "Siete" is drastic but slightly dramatic based upon simple poisonous phrases. This texture would lean towards experimental / post metal I imagine. Just like a beautiful death after the last dinner. Supra-complicated melodic dissection can be heard through "Sonambulo", followed by "Ataraxia" featuring catastrophic instrumental blows overall. In "Petricor" flamenco-ish guitar repetitions are tasty, and the last noisy biohazard should be terrific. "Mondo Bardian" sounds like blending with an ambience from another dimension and fantastic echoic departure to the inferno named "Vagido" such a powerful distortion.

Generally this opus is drenched in energetic resilience and vitality. Slightly too brutal for some avantgarde fans to digest out, but worth getting absorbed at least once.
