Holögrama is the recording project of Francisco Borja, an electronic musician from Granada, Spain. After self-releasing a slew on online albums, EPs & hand made CDRs, “Waves” marks his debut to the vinyl format. Borja performs & records the majority of everything himself, using synths, drum machines & whatever odds & ends he can scrape together to orchestrate Holögrama’s sound.
The tone is set straight away - “My Bicycle” opens the album with the steady pulse of a drum machine, pumping digital blood into the beating heart of the record. Soon it’s joined by Borja’s keyboard & bass, aligning a mesmerizing hum that carries through the last track. Keyboards drift in and out alongside Borja’s ghostly voice, hearkening back to the stark reverberations of Vega & Rev, but with a more positive, hopeful vibe tinged with a whisper of melancholy. “In Your Head” closes out the A-Side with it’s crystalline keyboard twinkles, that ease up to it’s cathartic beginning, as the music drops in and Borja’s voice echoes across the landscape.
The key track is the 9-minute “Pink Sky”, which bops along with a jaunty keyboard line until a deafening scree of guitar (courtesy of now-permanent member Carlos Alcantara) dive-bombs into the mix, rippling into a psychedlic maelstrom alongside Borja’s synthesized oscillations.
