"...Some sort of space type thing. Like something that would have came off the lunar modules."

"Mareado is self-described as 'sound collage' and I think that fits perfectly for what's going on with No Que No. Sound is layered in such a complex and interesting way throughout this entire album; it's intricate and intentional. Even the song titles read like some kind of map. There are obvious ones, like 'Intermission,' but there's also a track titled 'Smoke Break,' which plays at a seemingly opportune time within the chronology of the album, as if giving the listener a breather. There are instruments and vocals woven in and out of ambient noise and found recordings. It plays out like a performance art piece. It's brilliant."

"'No Que No' blends elements of Latin and experimental music, delivering a unique and refreshing sound that defies easy categorization. With a mix of lush melodies, rhythmic complexity, and a hint of psychedelic influence, it feels both grounded in tradition and boldly modern. The band uses a rich palette of instruments, combining electronic beats with organic sounds, creating an atmosphere that is both intimate and expansive.

Throughout the album, there's a playful yet introspective quality to the music, as if Mareado is exploring the boundaries between different genres and cultural influences while still maintaining a strong emotional core. The lyrics often deal with themes of contradiction, personal reflection, and existential questioning, with the title No Que No (which loosely translates to "No, But Yes") hinting at a paradoxical, almost rebellious stance on the world.

An album that encourages exploration, its eclectic mix of genres, from Latin rhythms to experimental soundscapes, makes it a work that rewards repeat listening, revealing new layers and nuances with each track."
