It's Rodrigo Jarque playing the piano, the rhodes, the glockenspiel, the guitars (both acoustic and electric), the Yamaha SK-20 and the looped tapes with ghosts in them; Rodrigo Soto playing drums, percussion, steel and bins; Angelo Agurto playing bass guitar and Washington Abrigo playing drones, guitars, ambience and wailing monsters....
The sound of trains, lighthouses, our grandparents and their pictures, fairy stories, laughter in the distance, the first lights in the morning, Monstruos Bajo la Cama, lack of money and sleep and UNHCR.
Inverness are an Elvin alternative rock band from Nowhere. The band is composed of Rodrigo Jarque (vocals, guitars, piano, synth), Angelo Agurto (bass guitar), Rodrigo Soto (drums, glockenspiel and percussion) and Washington Abrigo (guitar, ambience and drones, wailing monsters). Inverness have released one album ('Monstruos Bajo la Cama' (2006), when the band had no name yet).
Their debut album was released in november 2006 and their first single was 'Hay Algo que está frente a Nosotros' with a video directed by Christopher Murray. The guitar-driven sounds, the looped tapes with ghosts in them and the whispering and subliminal psychophonic voice suggesting some archaic type of Spanish, gives the album a luminiscent, yet dramatic aura. Critics here and overseas have considered ‘Monstruos Bajo la Cama’ to be a ’soundtrack’ album, since most of the songs are more than 5 minutes long and have low-motion dynamics. The spectral sound design (especially in what comes to voice mixing) and the ghostly instrumentation in this album (most of the songs where recorded in a barroque 415 Hrz pitch, thus giving the album a deep and somewhat detuned atmosphere as a whole) have created a certain remoteness from massive audiences in Spanish-speaking countries.
Though not a straightforward political album, ‘Monstruos Bajo la Cama’ (LeRockPsicophonique, 2006) has been considered to have one of the best homages to those who disappeared during a nasty dictatorship in the 70's: ‘Patio xxix’. And again, 'Mecanismos de la Memoria' deals with the feeling of a mother who has lost her child.
