‘Cuando arden mis venas, con el fuego lento, que esconde mis penas, La vida sonríe por el precipicio, me acerco al final y vuelvo a caer, en un mundo gris’ (Mi Mundo Gris) / ‘When my veins burn, with the slow fire, that hides my sorrows, Life smiles over the precipice, I approach the end and fall again, in a grey world’ (My Grey World)

Imagen Latente (Latent Image) is the debut 12-inch from Granada trio, Error De Paralaje (Parallax Error).  Across the six tracks, shimmering guitar, darkly resonant bass lines, and economically elegant percussion are fused into a quietly introspective, intrinsically sorrowful tableau.  It is one where the angular melancholy of post-punk glistens with a bright power pop inclined sheen.

As both the band name and title imply, this is an exploration of the distortions of loss and the tricks of memory.  The gently melodic Spanish vocals, courtesy of drummer Violeta (who also fronts E.V.A.), tease out how recollections fade and reconfigure, always shifting, while the ache of grief remains ever present, muted but never entirely subsiding.  The mournful propulsion of Polvo (Dust) and the languidly layered Qué Será, Será (What Will Be, Will Be) capture the atmosphere of hushed desperation with a suitably understated grace.
