*300 copies limited edition* $dvore by $dvore is felt like a murky karaoke session with Albert Pla, Héctor Lavoe, Ray Heredia, and Juanma of Eskorbuto, all indulging themselves by singing over melodies of torn velvet, technological detritus, pure chop, screw, and reverb. Or, to put it another way: trashpresiosismo. This is the unusual beauty—and also the name of one of his hits, “Trashpresiosismo”—of his music; a spherical perfection, even if the sphere itself is made of pure rust.
The album $dvore is the founding myth of Cardevore’s uncontrolled dumping of jewels. In 2015, it was a rare bird ahead of its time. The freshness and courage with which it brought together a condensation of references (now indisputable, then unusual) and contemporary production—in full harmony with the lo-fi junk of the burgeoning vaporwave scene—shocked us as something unexpected and strange. Now, without having lost any strength, singularity, or magic, Cardevore's album is more current than ever. It has made a mark, and if we dig deeper, we perceive that it transcends its own validity. His music goes further; it is eternal thanks to his irrevocable longing for the joy of living—passionate, sincere, and fearless—crystallized in a vital instinct of “Amor anarquia” (Love anarchy). This concept has been transmuted into a symbol (see the labels on the album) and is also the title of another hit on the record.
Luckily, Dani's creative flow never stops, and we know he has projects underway that we look forward to enjoying soon! Having arrived here, all we can do is wish a long life to trash-dimensional preciousness!
