rating: 8.5

Rosvita needs special attention. Asking why? It´s a locla band that can get together in some old backyard, close the door behind themsleves and with no fuss around do everything on their own. To put it shortly, do it yourslef style and for these bands i have kind of a weak spot. Not for all of them obviously, as mostly they sound exactly how would you expect from such an approach (meaning horribly), but for those that can actually do it well and not get lost among th big fishes around that are built with the propagandistic help and money of large labels, when the preferred result are old homey shoes and grease stained trousers win over polished shoes and expensive ties. And exactly Podrida Ser is one of these rare DIY examples, hurray to leaving the world of suits, golden watches and prefectly cut nails, put on old worn out t-shirt, red socks with holes and go to the nearest backyard.
So what are we facing here actually? Colourful mixture of unconventional poppy melodies, basslines supporting with bulldozer solidness taken from noise records and slightly knotty drum figures under all of this. Don´t expect any instrumental exhibitions, neither mind boggling intensity nor ambient stale waters as well. What will mainly attract your attention is the flett-footed infantility playfullness with which is Podrida Ser played, the infectious childish enthusiasm, teh well-meant naivity taht is capable to suck you in even at places where you would normally yawn and stare at the ceiling. Fortunately, the material is not sewn by one thread and so during the half an hour you will hear emotional guitar walls reminding the sad screamo scent as well as careless keybnoard meriness, the hammer hits the anvil in various rhythms and tempos, especially as we are drawing more to the end the music significantly slows down and the consequent dreamy atmosphere is accentuated by protracted trumpets, somwher a smile spreads on your face, elsewhere a tear comes down your cheek. It´s obvious thatv this theatre can´t be played without an adequate sound, but even here Rosvita isn´t out of breath, keyboards with their corny squeky scent tha is equilibratet by solid, to the bottom shelves put bass guitar.
As a summary then: Rosvita presnts on Podrida Ser clever, diverse noise pop that, instead of hiding behind intellectual glasses, pleases with unconcealed enthusiasm, playfullness and sincerity that it contains.
