I hope the goodwill I have from my belated discovery of her last album isn't shaping my judgement of this, which is extremely favourable.

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 27 November 2013 23:31 (twelve years ago)

I thought she was going to take a lengthy break from making music, but now I can't remember how long ago I read that. Apparently a while ago.

This sounds great!

Johnny Fever, Thursday, 28 November 2013 04:20 (twelve years ago)

I'm loving this, perhaps not as much as "Luz de Piedra de Luna", but almost.

Holy shit, I guess I've been overlooking this thread. This is great.

Also, I guess it goes without saying that this is another Canada directed video.

Awesome

Amazing! Feel that Espada was the moment I fully jumped aboard the Mena-bus.

OH YYYYYYYESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 3 June 2014 21:13 (twelve years ago)

just what i needed for the summer

dyl, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 16:03 (twelve years ago)

Dunno if she's ready yet to release another album, so I'll just go ahead and predict this track lands at #45 in the year-end poll.

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 17:43 (twelve years ago)

New album in September I think.

popchips: the next snapple? (seandalai), Wednesday, 4 June 2014 17:44 (twelve years ago)

Oh good!

Johnny Fever, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 17:46 (twelve years ago)

This is fantastic. Very happy to hear their is a new album coming out soon but would be even happier if it came out in time for the summer.

Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 4 June 2014 19:19 (twelve years ago)

boxedjoy, Wednesday, 20 August 2014 17:04 (eleven years ago)

I just now noticed she did a guest vocal on a Dapuntobeat single in 2012. It's deece.

een, Thursday, 16 October 2014 18:32 (eleven years ago)

espada's been out for a long time, too, if you haven't heard that. or maybe you just don't love it.

karl...arlk...rlka...lkar..., Thursday, 16 October 2014 19:23 (eleven years ago)

Trademark space launch present and correct. So stoked for the album.

new song is so amazing

uxorious gazumping (monotony), Friday, 17 October 2014 06:00 (eleven years ago)

Whole album up on Spotify.

Johnny Fever, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 13:23 (eleven years ago)

whole album is damn good but wow "sincronía, pegaso" especially

dyl, Tuesday, 28 October 2014 23:08 (eleven years ago)

This album is so good. Think I already like it more than Mena.

Kitchen Person, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 02:18 (eleven years ago)

The last minute of "Sicronia, Pegaso" is glorious bleep-bleep. If I were going out dancing as often as I did five years ago, I'd turn that last minute into a communal face off.

guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 02:48 (eleven years ago)

i'm so happy

emo canon in twee major (BradNelson), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 02:49 (eleven years ago)

i have recently realized "espada" is one of the best songs in years

dyl, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 06:05 (eleven years ago)

listened to this like 5 times, v much in love

een, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 11:59 (eleven years ago)

Excellent sounding album, I find it more consistent that Mena

nxd, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 12:04 (eleven years ago)

i wish i could speak spanish; i feel like that would only compound my enjoyment of this. last minute of "la joya" is some of the most breathtaking music of this decade

uxorious gazumping (monotony), Wednesday, 29 October 2014 12:31 (eleven years ago)

production here is great and i think the songwriting took a big step forward too, love this record so far

adam, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 14:50 (eleven years ago)

To be honest, I felt a little disappointed by this on first listen. It *sounds* great, but the songs weren't as immediately memorable as those on Mena. And it's sort of ... one-note, maybe? But I'm looking forward to digging into it more, so that its hooks and nuances reveal themselves.

jaymc, Wednesday, 29 October 2014 14:58 (eleven years ago)

what a hero

new record Nocturna is out today, featuring a number of already-released songs together with a few new ones. All-killer no-filler on first contact

love the flute jam on Me Gustas Tú

TWELVE Michelob stars?!? (seandalai), Sunday, 2 October 2022 23:27 (three years ago)

is it better than the last one? didn't get into that at all

groovemaaan, Monday, 3 October 2022 01:38 (three years ago)

It wouldn't have surprised as a follow-up to Otra Era

More highlights:
- When Javiera says "Hola" at the start of a song
- The Radiorama-level of Italo overdrive on "Sombra" (is that a lion-roar sound effect?)

new album is relatively chill (I didn't count a single "Javiera-era-era") but it's growing on me
