/Alternative pop, Twee pop, Indie pop, Art pop, Baroque pop, Experimental indie, Tropicalia pop/
Comment: a handful of captivating, sonorous indie/alternative pop songs are represented here which are embellished with an array of diverse influences drawn from left and right, from the centre and periphery. These influences do not originate only from within the Western indie scenes (twee, southern rock, baroque pop, art pop, dream pop) but also from Brazil (for instance, at No Me Hagas Daño you can detect the templates of tropicalia pop a la Os Mutantes). Female vocal layers are set in a way to be in front of mellow guitar fingerpicking, sensitive glockenspiel chords, woodwind developments, some studio effects. For instance, listen particularly to the opening single Sea Legs which is enthralling and sexy simultaneously. Within it and more generally relative to the EP Maria C. R is assisted by Matthew R (from Radio Wire Empire). In a word - grrreeat!!!
