Eccentric and shapeshifting multi-faceted recordings from French / Argentinia enigma Luna Maria Cedron aka Fiesta En El Vacio - our new favourite artist.
Wow. We’ve only just dusted ourselves off after the recent Fiesta En El Vacio self-titled debut LP which FLEW off the shelves faster than we could keep track of. Now she’s back with a characteristically chameleon-like LP in Rosal via the Teenage Menopause label. It’s music that sounds like everything and nothing, a clash of centuries-old folklore and the sounds of today’s urban grit. It’s a combination we can’t get enough off. Sparse scorched electronics collide with waltzing Flemenco rhythms lifted by close-mic’d vocals with plenty of Latin fire. There’s a magic in the air that’s really pulling us in, deeply melancholic Venezuelan folk rubbing up to abrasive minimal synth pieces adds a strong sense of protest and anarchy, but most importantly, intent. Few in recent memory have archived such a cohesive sound from absorbing / exhibiting such a diverse set of influences and traditions. In a post-internet age where it’s increasingly difficult to be unique and original, Fiesta En El Vacío couldn’t do it more naturally. Best of the year, no joke.
