JOLIETTE - Pérdidas Variables LP New AgeOn Joliettes new album, Prdidas Variables, the Mexico City quartet takes the urgency of scene heroes like Saetia and Raein and laces it with the brooding, post metal grandeur of Neurosis or Cult of Luna. While some bands in the genre use sloppiness as their medium, wielding chaos to convey emotional fragility, Joliette moves as steadily as a freight train. The rhythm section of Hugo Madrid and Matas Acua bangs and growls in perfect, propulsive unity,

it contains some of the band's densest compositions

such as in the song Sørunej
