After starting his career with two EPs in 2020’s Homónimo and 2021’s Vagamundos, singer/songwriter Dogs In Old Movies made his album debut with 2022’s Campos de Fuerza, a project that shows off the musician’s comfort zone as well as sounds he’s willing to explore in the future. Campos de Fuerza starts with “Poema”, an ambient acoustic guitar piece that finishes with a short poem. Afterwards, “Monte-Cielo-mar” is another acoustic guitar driven tune that will capture the attention of many Boricuas with the many coquis featured in the background. Then “Levertov” is a beautiful piece that shows off the musician’s vocal skills. Next “Campos de Fuerza” is a bit of faster-paced song that finds the artist exploring love. Subsequently, “Refugio (Acá)” is an indie folk track that serves as another instrumental ambient piece. The second half of the project starts with “Tu Mundo”, a completely different sound from previous tracks as the singer/songwriter picks up an electric guitar to deliver what feels like a surreal/psychedelic experience. After that, “Refugio (Allá)” continues the electric guitar-driven sound as listeners are once again taken on what feels like a dream-like experience. Later, “Brújula” is spoken word piece accompanied by an interesting surreal ambient instrumental in the background. Finally, the project delivers “Película”, a relaxing guitar-driven instrumental that in its second half turns into an psychedelic ambient piece as listeners can feel like they’re in some sort of dream-like experience.
In sum, Dogs In Old Movies’ Campos de Fuerza is an experience that delivers the sounds listeners are accustomed to finding in the musician’s repertoire, but also others that might hint at what his future might look like.
