Review by Jaime Pérez Dans

Five Years Five Months: A Journey Through Sound and Silence Alright, let’s talk about Five Years Five Months. This 2012 gem from Spain is one of those albums that sneaks up on you when you least expect it. Released under the mysterious-sounding Imaginary Nonexistent Records (seriously, what a name!), this collection of electronic tunes dives deep into IDM and ambient vibes. It’s not just music—it’s like someone bottled up fragments of time and emotion, shook ‘em up, and poured them into your ears. First off, can we take a moment for Monoceros’ artwork? The cover feels like staring at a dream you can’t quite explain but don’t want to forget. It sets the tone perfectly for what’s inside—a mix of glitchy beats, floating soundscapes, and moments so intimate they feel like eavesdropping on someone else's thoughts. Now, onto the tracks. There are some real standouts here, but two stuck with me in particular: “La Hora Del Té Con El Capitán Ahab” and “Fukushima.” “La Hora Del Té…”—man, where do I even start? It’s got this playful yet melancholic vibe, like sipping tea while watching rain streak down a window. The rhythm sort of trips over itself, as if the song doesn’t know whether to dance or cry. And honestly? That awkwardness makes it unforgettable. You’re not sure if you should nod along or sit quietly and let it soak in. Either way, it works. Then there’s “Fukushima,” which hits different. If the first track was rainy afternoons, this one’s more like standing alone in an empty field after a storm. It builds slowly, layer by layer, until it’s almost overwhelming. By the end, it’s like the music’s asking something of you—maybe to reflect, maybe to grieve, who knows. But damn, it lingers. The rest of the album keeps things interesting too. Tracks like “Triplet Grid” and “Walking Around Feeling” keep the balance between heady experimentation and pure listenability. Nothing ever feels forced; it’s all just… natural. Like these sounds existed somewhere out there, waiting to be found. What strikes me most about Five Years Five Months is how human it feels despite being so rooted in tech-heavy genres. These aren’t just bleeps and bloops—they’re stories told through synths and silence. At times, it feels like peeking into the artists’ minds without permission. Weirdly comforting, right? And hey, here’s a random thought: isn’t it wild how something made entirely of zeros and ones can still carry so much weight? Like, how does that even work? Maybe that’s the magic of electronic music—it reminds us that machines can have souls too, in their own weird way. So yeah, give this album a spin if you haven’t already. Just don’t blame me if it sticks with you longer than expected.
