Review: Astrid Gnosis - Rat Penat (Self-Released)


New single release by Astrid Gnosis!

The name "Rat Penat" apparently is tied to the history and mythology of Spain / Valencia.
And it's a fitting match, as that area is also known for it's legendary Rave / Party scene.
The "Rat Penat" logo itself reminds me a bit of the "Rave the Party" series of compilation CDs in the 90s.
Despite these optics, the audio is connected too. Rave vibes, Gabba madness. But it does not stop here. There is a kind of dark wave organ throughout the track, which gives it an eery early goth vibe... (remember the "Batcave" club, anyone?).
And Spanish language lyrics, sung by Gnosis herself... adds a mystical / sensual dimension to the track, too.

So, in case you did not get the "message" yet: this is a track that zig zags through genres, eras, maybe even dimensions...
And it's gonna kick your ass on the dancefloor.
