There’s a shimmering glide to La Sintesis O'Konor, one that hides deeper emotions. El Mató A Un Policía Motorizado mix placid beauty with propulsive drive, recalling both the hypnotic mantras of Neu! and the pastoral jangle of Real Estate. But the commanding voice of Santiago Motorizado continues to set the Mexican indie band apart from their idols and peers. He brings gravitas and gracefulness to haunted lullabies like “Excalibur”, and he rumbles with a force to match the noise of pensive anthems like “Las Luces”.
