Discografía de Pocahaunted

El dúo californiano Pocahaunted se ha caracterizado, desde sus comienzos, por su excentricidad; no sólo en la música misma, sino también en el cómo es su "método de trabajo" y cómo lanzan sus álbumes. La mayoría de éstos son comercializados en versión casete o disco de vinilo de edición extremadamente limitada, y son grabados en largas sesiones de improvisación, con la indudable inspiración de la música nativa norteamericana, en conjunción con el peso experimental del drone y el ambient. Y es esta singular mezcla lo que hace tan mágica la música de Pocahaunted, lo que hace que cada lanzamiento, pese a las pocas canciones que, por lo general, traen, tenga su sonido particular, en el que, muy a menudo se pasa al campo de otros géneros, como el post-rock o el dub, aunque siempre conservando un estilo particular, muy propio y sumamente natural.

Aquí dejo, entonces, la discografía de las "gemelas Olsen del drone", en la que este misticismo propio de la pareja queda más que plasmado en su corta, mas productiva carrera, en la que destacan sus colaboraciones con bandas como Robedoor o Mythical Beast, y entre la que se encuentran algunos de mis discos favoritos, como Hunted Gathering, Island Diamonds, Native Seduction, Chains, entre varios otros.
Pocahaunted logra un estilo que sale del alma y que, además, llega al alma. La profundidad en su música es casi paradojal, considerando la simplicidad de ésta, pero es un elemento que aparece naturalmente en el trabajo de Amanda y Bethany, siendo "introspección" y "meditación" dos palabras que se vienen inmediatamente a la mente a la hora de escuchar canciones como "Native Seduction" o "Singing Color", y, en general, de todos los que componen la discografía de Pocahaunted, que, en esta ocasión, resubo y actualizo para que disfruten de la belleza de la música de este dúo estadounidense.
