Comment: Apache O`Raspi comes out from Mexico providing a fascinating set of idiosyncratic pop songs. There can be detected for a pair dominating lines of influences - first of all, it is instrospective, dream-filled, psychedelic folk and local Latin appearances with die-hard lo-fi/DIY touch and on the other side the album cannot be without making the hints at tropicalia pop/rock a la Os Mutantes and so-called saccharine underground/baroque pop a la Lee Hazlewood. There is one exception either - Frantic Dance takes on more tight flirtation with lustful electronic trickery. The album is sung in English, and Spain respectively. By the way, these 9 tracks are mixed by Benjamin Z, aka Volumina, another awesome folktronic musician from Mexico. In conclusion, you can grab lots of truly elusive harmonies and melodies from out of here (Cereal Mermelada; Junto a ti; Come Up Again; Little Lady). Great!
