Ball of Wax 44 Songs: Velvet Grapes – El No Puede

This Ball of Wax has brought out more experimental sounds then in any recent edition. Listening to the mix may in fact leave you strait-jacket mad. Velvet Grapes‘ “El No Puede” walks you through a dream state. Background sounds galore. There isn’t too much to focus on for too long in this piece. There are the reoccurring themes of the radio sounding voice repeating “el no puede,” there is the sound of a girl humming in the background, sounds of running water, ghosts in the back of the house, or pipes rustling from the floor above in a hundred year old house. It’s as if the artists has picked up on some strange radio frequency which simultaneously picks up endangered whales and Latino radio. thanks to a google translation, “no can” is a refreshing rejoinder after years of hearing you can do this and you can do that. sorry, not me. No can do.
