Soldati Post “Whisky Negro” Video Filmed Live in Buenos Aires

soldati-whisky-negro

“Whisky Negro” was second of the four songs included earlier this year on the self-titled debut EP (discussed here) from Buenos Aires trio Soldati. Released, of course, through frontman Sergio Chotsourian‘s imprint, South American Sludge Records, the initial public offering was marked out by a straightforward heavy rock drive that seemed stripped down even compared to some of what Chotsourian‘s old band, Los Natas, used to offer, and certainly more barebones than the lush-toned heavy roll of subsequent outfit Ararat, bassist Lukas Hospital and drummer Ranz pushing the tracks ahead with a fervent gallop and a conscious impatience that suits their fuzz and winding rhythms well. In short, it rocked.

As such, it seems appropriate that the official video for “Whisky Negro” should have been recorded live. Chotsourian had engineered and produced the EP himself, so in addition to getting to see the trio perform the song, we also get to hear a different version than that which was included on the studio release, captured at the Motoclub Bar in Buenos Aires. His vocals still seem to surf the track’s central riff, but it’s easy to get a sense of how the bass, guitar and drums mesh together behind the lyrics, and of course since it’s live, there’s an energy to the delivery that’s largely inimitable in any other kind of recording. Yeah, it’s kind of raw, but that’s the point. If Soldati didn’t want it to be raw, they probably would’ve overlaid the studio version of the cut and been done with it. These things don’t happen by mistake.

Very interested to hear what Soldati come up with for a full-length debut when the time arrives. Hopefully that’s sooner than later — 2017 would be nice, not that I’ve heard anything in that direction — but until then, you can dig into “Whisky Negro” below, followed by more info come down the PR wire and run through a major internet corporation’s translation matrix.
