Comment: Thanks to such artists like Animal Collective, Atlas Sound, The Grizzly Bear, and The Dirty Projectors the kind of ecstatic pop has gained more popularity amongst ordinary music buyers and reached quite high places in pop charts. Error! Lo-fi is a Spanish-based label under which have a lot of bands found its output to the world. However, the basic core is concentrated upon mellow indie pop/ indietronic/ folktronic/ toytronic music. However, Pequeña Fiera! is one of the most profilic and eminential notches among this umbrella, anyway, deserving its position rightly. A set of 6 tracks is full of ecstatically pursuing guitar-strumming, dream-alike vocal lines (at times reminiscent of Jón “Jónsi” Þór Birgisson from Sigur Ros) and synth- and glockenspiel-drenched indie pop. It is mesmerizing how those different layers within it will be melt into each other.
