'canta lechuza' is an intimate, personal beast, a solo affair built lovingly from live instruments, percussion, and field recordings, all processed through electronics, computers, and synthesizers. it is an album with very defined songs, its song-structure has been labored over; choruses count bigtime, confident breakdowns and digi-pop bridges are all part and parcel of the greater good. like roberto's beat-makin' project epstein, 'canta lechuza' is dance music turned inside out - percussion plipping and plapping, basslines smooth and dry as a tube of blue neon. deep-space micro-drones emerge from hibernation, growling out from a wash of sun-filtered haze - morphing, squeezing, then bending themselves around globular droplets of blood-red electro. oscillating tone-shifts freeze up and fragmentize and become beats. with all this stuff tip-tappering and oonsk-oonsking through your headphones, you can sit back and daydream up fantasy origins for all this source material and field recordings: the insides of a tuba or a family tree of tree frogs; gusts of wind through an expressway tunnel or a ceremonial raindance at the greater crown heights water jug factory. these 11 tracks fit squarely in mid-2011, a time of exploration into the wonders of technology, into electronic source material as dancemusic and dancemusic as impressionist painting. on asthmatic kitty.
