Alegranza! (CD)
IMPORT! Amid the sickening carousel chimes, tin-pan Tropicalia and corroded dub, Alegranza leaps manically from one beaming influence to another, constantly shifting guises, knitting a comfortable coastal paradise. Reminiscent of Panda Bear's pursuits on the Portuguese coast with Person Pitch, Pablo Diaz-Reixa's debut outing was recorded off the lapping Catalunyan shores and, as influences come colliding, manages to provide the same intoxicating carnival-esque procession for all to marvel at. -drownedinsound.com
