This young quartet from Monterrey converts a bewildering range of pop appropriations into a compelling set of miniatures that burst with style and humor.
Bio / Background
MICROBRICOLAGES cd review from TIME OUT NY (issue 545)
More or less the French word for “do-it-yourself,” bricolage is a technique by which new art is assembled using clutter at hand; in anthropological terms, it also refers to a cultural identity created from subversive borrowings. Both definitions suit Album, a young, Monterrey, Mexico–based quartet whose second full-length, Microbricolages, offers an hour-long barrage of brief, densely constructed gems—none of which sound Mexican in any conventional sense. Café Tacuba may be part of the band’s heritage, but alternative-pop acts such as Radiohead, Beck and the Beta Band are far more apparent antecedents.
Opening track “Es Fácil” (“it’s easy”) leaps off the disc with a warbling, New Order–style bass line and a stuttering beat, as keyboards mimic bucolic kalimbas and brassy horns.
