The album is as skeletal as it is instantly recognizable. Following the inception of the unmistakable post-power electronics cubist-Latin-blues that kept Adrián de Alfonso busy during his Don The Tiger days, the first album under his own name is a ruthless step forward into a new form of avant-garde balladry, raw and stripped down, poetic yet enchanting, anchored in a sort of stubborn and repetitive primitivism, which synthesizes the future rituals of a stateless tradition. ‘Viator’ consists mainly of a series of frayed ballads and deformed instrumental miniatures, underpinned by the heavy swing that intertwines Adrian de Alfonso’s lyrical coplera vocals and improviser Mike Majkowski’s rubbery double bass, which is often drained of its acoustic nature through computer and tape manipulations.
